Even the cycling which is free didnt draw big crowds.London had very few sessions in any sport with many empty seats,A lot were big venues as well.Despite what many Brits thought would happen,the games were incredibly successful.Though we live in a country,where London often feels like another world the whole country was buzzing

I heard they are going to re run some of the 110m hurdles because of the rain.

Felix was unlucky.First the Brazilian dives to get through the heats and now Miller dives for a gold medal.This could catch on

Crazy finish. I thought Felix had it & then Miller almost dove too early. Almost.

Wow, now that was an awesome awesome pole vault battle.

Da Silva pulled through in the clutch, fabulous gold for Brazil!

Tough break for Felix - at least she finished upright on her feet. It's unfortunate that it's allowed for a runner to dive across the finish line.
