Proud of Daley's display 5:36pm on 23 Aug 2008 He has done himself and the country proud. Well done to the young fellow. I am sure he will be on that podium in 2012.
Three gold medals - and I'm shattered 12:55pm on 20 Aug 2008 Outstanding - simply outstanding.
The whole country is walking tall thanks to you and your colleagues in Team GB. We are all hugely proud of you.
Dealing with demons after defeat 12:53pm on 20 Aug 2008 Euan
While your feelings are totally understandable, don't let them consume you. The country is 100% behind you. Simply to *get* to the Olympics puts you in the very elite of your sport.
Like everyone else has said - use this to drive you even harder to 2012 where you will be stepping up onto that podium with the National Anthem playing and the Union Flag hoisted high.
Well done - you are a credit to your team and your country.

It is like that fantastic line from Henry V
"And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
What a weekend! But why stop there? 08:54am on 18 Aug 2008 It is a great day for Team GB. Congratulations.
Getting used to being a lady of leisure 10:51am on 15 Aug 2008 Gail
You should hold your head up incredibly high and be rightly proud for what you did for your country.
Well done - just to make it to the Olympic finals puts you in the very highest elite of your sport and in your country.
You are the embodiment of everything that is good about both the Olympics and about Britain and a credit to both.
Welcome to the real world, Tom! 4:56pm on 11 Aug 2008 Oh come on, give the kid a break. He is only 14 years old. He did brilliantly just to get there and is a massive credit to his country. And of course his partner is a bit cheesed off - who wouldn't be? I am sure it was just a rush of blood to his head and a spur-of-the-moment thing - nothing more than that.
In a funny way not winning has probably done the young fellow a favour - imagine the media hype if he had won a medal. Now at least perhaps he will get chance to grow up out of the media spotlight.
Good luck to you son - you did your family and your country proud.
