The bit with the texting utterly confused me. Other than that it was pretty good, especially the bit with Bond and the queen.

Man I feel pretty bad for Jordyn Weiber not making it to the All-Around. Considering she's the all-star favorite.

Everyone except Aly Raisman kinda flopped on the floor exercises.

And the USA crushes at the 200m freestyle relay to give Phelps his 19th medal.

Just watching USA vs China at the Volleyball. Made me realise what this Olympics has been lacking all along, economic metaphors.

Did you watch the opening ceremony?

If there's one thing I really want the US to win gold in, it's women's beach volleyball... I remember watching Misty May and Kerri Walsh back in 2004 - it'd be great to see them win 3 in a row.

Did you see them lose their first set?

Just saw the women's all-around final, and I have to say that these judgy people are unfair.

The British TV coverage is getting completely unbearable...

North America is hardly better:

CTV: Full coverage of the token Canadian guy in every race, excitement when a Canadian doesn't place last or next to last. But they do cover other nations, tbh.

NBC: America is the only country competing, so they only cover Americans. Though unlike Canadians, the Americans actually win something.

I've seen other countries play soccer on NBC, but that appears to be it.

USA pulls ahead of Red China on gold medals and total medals. Wonderful.

Smiley!

The lead's been switching back and forth for days.

Montenegro is fifth new Olympic medalist country (making together 81 medalist countries). Israel had some good athletes in gymnastics too.  Bahama has a good chance to win medal in some relay, but in general additional medalist countries are very unlikely.

By 'medalist', do you mean ever or just in London?

Isn't that whole thing full of terrible crashes?

The opening and closing ceremonies showed the best of Britain.

Especially Boris Johnson.
