I’m enjoying the coverage on our ABC, although it’s very very Oz-centric. Who else have you seen doing great stuff? (and by all means mention the blokes, they can be honorary hoydens this week)

    Loving every time I see Jacqueline Freney and Maddison Elliott on the screen – fabulous performances and such excitement.

    Watching Oscar Pistorius’ race right now – hell, Olivera just stumbled and false-started!

    Okay, Oliveira was green-carded so he got to run. Fab performance from Johnny Peacock to win.

    Fantastic to see all the packed venues and full-throated crowds.
