Absolutely chuffed with the fact that Murray got the better of Federer today in the Gold Medal Match, although it wasn't a Grand Slam it was still a 5 set match and represented Murray's first victory over him in 5 sets.
It's not often that you see perhaps the greatest player of all time be outclassed, even more so given that it's on Grass, but he was entirely gracious in defeat, a true gent.
Until Wimbledon, I had never seen Murray come out and be aggressive against guys like Federer and Djokovic. Sadly at Wimbledon it didn't quite pay off.
I was a little disappointed to see Murray and Robson come so close to winning the Gold in the mixed doubles. Robson was playing the game of her life at points, and looked the kind of player people are hoping she will become, as others have mentioned though, her serve does perhaps need a little work - especially in pressure situations when it tends to get a bit away from her.
Also gutted for the boys in the Star class, who looked like they were going to win the Gold whilst being in 5th with only 100m to go, only for opponents to catch a gust at the very end to power them over the line ahead of GB.
Big congratulations to Ben Ainslie on becoming the greatest ever Olympic sailor.
Congratulations also go out to the lads who won Silver and Bronze in the Pommel Horse final and to Ed Clancy on getting the Bronze in the Men's Omnium.
Pity about the Star Class (they seemed to forget about the Swedes) but you can't win em all!
The only issue I have, with the celebrations, is why is it necessary to paint a post box (in medal winners localities) gold? It seems a waste of money. Also why should post offices in three locations in Cornwall open on a Sunday to sell commemorative stamps? Overkill? I'm all for commemorative stamps; but can't the Post Office wait, until 9am on Monday to sell them?
