Why can people not spell the word "definitely"? Really gets my goat...

Some? About half the English speaking world if the internet is anything to go by.

For best Olympian how about Paavo Nurmi? Unbelievable achievements in '20 and '24.

I dont reckon that Bevan fella has a stupid enough team to qualify as a quality text commentator. Lets face it Ben Dirs and Caroline Cheese comments are much funnier because of their names. Mr Bevan I think you should consider changing your name or getting a new job.

The bbc coverage has been excellent so far. I enjoy the commentators the most. Excuse my ignorance as don't know their names but whoever does the Swimming, Equestrian and Rowing commentary are awesome. Transfer them over to football please bbc.

Tippoftheiceberg: "If you have lots of money, own an expensive horse, pay for expensive trainers, pay for stables and horse feed, then you can be a success."

Everybody is allowed an opinion, but what I really can't stand is people making judgments on thing they know NOTHING about. Those riders are not wealthy, they rely on sponsorship and wealty people to give them horses to ride. Eventing is a very physical sport that requires considerable skill.

Just had a look at the medal table, where the hell did south korea get 5 golds? Did they clean up in the judo or weight lifting or something?

Has anyone else noticed how Redgrave keeps getting referred to using his title Sir Steve Redgrave but Matt Pinsent's title gets left out? I'm pretty sure Pinsent worked just as hard for his medals and knighthood. That said I see this has been corrected in today's article about the coxless four...

Bye Bye Murray Muppets, please don't bother turning up in 2012! What a hopeless effort that was.

Tom Daley has such a great smile, such a great attitude. He's a fantastic kid. Wish he was mine. Mine is more like Mr Murray unfortunately....
He's 19. Maybe it's just an age thing.
