The Olympics has been great to watch. The Athletics are always my favourite part of the games (though I have watched a few of the other sports)

Usain Bolt's Gold Medal, World Record 100 Metres has been one of the highlights but today in the Women's 400 topped Mr Bolt.



Going into the final Sanya Richards was given the clear favourite but Christine Ohuruogu's stunning 400m victory turned the event on it's head. Richards had been leading almost the whole race after a blistering 300 metres but seemed to run out of gas. Ohuruogu on the other hand trailed entering the final 100 yet her strength prevailed and she blew past the field. Richards finished a disappointing third as Williams (Jam) took the Silver.



The British team may not have won many medals in the Bird's Nest Stadium but they have been a prescence in a number of finals. Of course the disappointment of Kelly Southerten, Paula Radcliffe not getting medals is there but  I think that the team might get something in the relays. Of course they are up against very tough opposition. The 4x400 metres relay for women is probably the best chance of getting a medal.

Other Sports stuff: Hamilton Accies began life in the Scottish Premier League with two victories and they are sitting nicely on top after two weeks of the season (hope they will do a lot better than their last visit to the big stage 19 years ago!).

Chelsea had a great start to the season with an impressive 4-0 win over Portsmouth. I'm glad that Lampard is going to be around and the addition of Deco has already paid off with the man scoring a superb strike for Chelsea's fourth goal of the game. He was named as the Man of the Match and rightly so.


The Denver Broncos were in action at the weekend playing at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos came out winners 23-13. QB Jay Cutler (pictured) was impressive as he completed 16-20-178-1TD
