Hello, Elle!
I think young Andy is growing on you!
Chopping wood for winter kindling for my son.
Any idea what trampolining comes under?
I can't find it on the buttons.
I was hoping to see Dong Dong again.
What country is Martina representing?
I hear the tennis stands are lacking in spectators.
Justin Rose is going along nicely in the golf.
Could be a medal there!

Hi, Rusty!
I think that trampolining comes under Gymnastics?
I don't think it is scheduled for today......I couldn't find it when I just looked for you.
Martina was born in Czechoslovakia ( now Slovakia) but is now of Swiss nationality and plays for Switzerland.
I hope they beat the Russians! but so far, the Russians have taken the first set.
I have the match on here on the computer - I only get an occasional glimpse of the stands...but yes, from what I can see, they do look almost empty.
Fingers crossed for Justin Rose in the medal stakes!
I shall take a break from watching anything more until Andy comes on!

P.S. Rusty, I've just checked,... the Russians have won Gold, so Martina and partner have had to settle for Silver.

Good evening, Elle.
GB have won gold at the golf.
Justin Rose won a nail biting contest with Henrik Stenson.
Two first-class players.
Martina got beaten, unfortunately, but the Russians played well.
So, cycling for me now.
Shall cheer on Becky James, and I like both Jason Kenny and young Callum Skinner but I have no favourite there.
Gold and silver for them, anyway!
How is your Andy getting on?

Hello, Elle!
Good old BBC!
They missed Becky James qualifying ride for the womens sprint!
But, so far, Becky is fastest, and teammate Katy Marchant is second fastest.
Going along nicely!

Hi, Rusty!
I have been talking to my cousin for the past hour!
"All is Quiet on the North-Western Front"!
Her family are all well.
Well done , Justin Rose! Another Gold medal to add to our tally.
I don't think I have heard of Becky James?
Jason Kenny? Did you tell me that he is Laura Trott's boyfriend /partner, or did I read that somewhere? It is definitely in my mind?
I hope you enjoy the rest of the cycling, and it progresses well.
Now, Andy...............
He has only just started playing!
Two hours behind the given schedule.
So far , each has had a break of serve and they are now back on track, and it going with serve again.
3 games have taken 27 minutes!
The match will probably go on for quite a while, as I think the Final consists of five sets, rather than the three that they have all been playing so far.
Fingers crossed for another Gold!

Hello, Elle!
Becky won silver last night in the keirin.
The sprint is a separate event.
Jason is Laura's squeeze, yes.
That is five gold medals he has won now, and still has the keirin to come.
Laura said (jokingly) Jason should be knighted after winning all these golds, and so when they get married, she would become Lady Laura!
Mind you, she has won a bunch of golds too, so maybe time she had parity with Dame Sarah?
Hope Andy wins, too.

Hi, Rusty!
Oops! I fell asleep!
How could I do that at such a crucial time?
One set each! One game all!
Is this going on for ever........?
I need to go to bed!
But now that I am awake again, I shall stick it out to the end!
Must support my mate Andy!
I'm sorry about Becky James! Yes, you had told me that she won Silver in the keirin.
A senior moment in my not remembering her name!
How are you doing?
Are you still up?

Good (early) morning, Rusty!
It is 1.10 am., and finally over!
Andy Murray has just won the Gold medal for GB, and is now a double Olympic Gold Medallist!
Well done, Andy!
Del Potro also played brilliantly - it was a fantastic match!
I am about to watch the medal ceremony and then I am away to my bed!

Good morning, Elle.
Young Mr Murray did us proud!
Not only can he proudly carry the flag, he can win golds too!
You have some stamina to stay up and watch it all.
I've read that Laura Muir has progressed to final of the 1500.
Fingers crossed for her, and Laura Weightman.
I think Trotty starts to defend her title in the omnium today.
Exciting days ahead!
