The one in which i-just-hide writes about 'Super Saturday'

What an absolutely amazing day for Team GB.  After a week of watching the Olympic games in every spare moment I spent most of today out of the loop as I was attending a friend's birthday barbeque in Hampshire.  I arrived home at about ten to nine this evening, just in time to Jessica Ennis win her Gold medal and have been watching the TV ever since.  Obviously, I'm super proud of Mo Farah as he went to school with me.  I didn't know him at school but he was in the same school year as my sister and later went to the same uni as her.  There's been a lot of talk in the press about the disproportionate number of Team GB gold medalists who attended private schools.  That makes Mo's win even more satisfying for me as we attended an average comprehensive school.  I understand that Jessica Ennis is also a comprehensive school girl. 

I'm also really thrilled for Greg Rutherford.  I didn't even know who he was until this evening but he did a brilliant job of winning the long jump by 15mm.

I can hardly believe that we're third in the medal table behind two absolutely enormous countries: USA and China.

Whatever happens tomorrow we're guaranteed two more medals, both for Andy Murray in the tennis.  Before today I would have predicted that it would be two silvers but after what has happened this evening I've got my fingers crossed for at least one gold.

Go Team GB!
