23:59 Thank goodness ch9 has gone to a real sport now. #london2012 #bmx #
22:53 Nairobi to bid for the 2024 Olympics. Yeah... right... http://t.co/b1R5aEj4 #
22:37 OMG everything I am reading about Walter Winans is amazing. He is fast becoming my favourite sportsman-sculptor of all time! #
22:33 I am in awe of Walter Winans, who won two Olympic gold medals: one for running deer shooting, the other for sculpture - http://t.co/0LGUCd7c #
22:19 Watching the rhythmic gymnastics reminds me that art was a medal competition at the Olympics from 1912 to 1948 http://t.co/N3tt9uFE #
21:52 What we need is a Logie for best performance in a sports betting ad. Nominees: Samuel L Jackson, Jaimee Rogers, Tom Waterhouse... #
21:49 My day 12 #london2012 blog post features video of women's #beachvolleyball. Sort of. http://t.co/3FypTKee #
21:47 And in news apparently unrelated to the 10k swim: RT @guardianeco: Fewer jellyfish spotted in UK waters http://t.co/GmIZmXF1 #
21:10 and speaking of non-sports, we're at that time of the Olympiad again. #london2012 #hulahoop #
21:01 "John Steffensen, he'll probably end up in commentary one day." Yes Karl, send him to the diving pool right now urgently. #london2012 #
20:50 Thanks for coming, Steffo. #london2012 #mens4x400 #
20:47 @camo09 if Slats the face of all things moving forward then I'm surprised he didn't call the backstroke #
20:43 and of course for Ofentse Mogawane. That was a nasty fall. #london2012 #mens4x400 #
20:39 unbelievable. So sad for @Team_SA_2012 and @OscarPistorius. #london2012 #mens4x400 #
20:38 oh terrible luck for South Africa. Out of the relay before Oscar Pistorius gets to run. #london2012 #mens4x400 #
20:35 Pistorius running 3rd for South Africa in this 4x400 heat. And two Borlees for Belgium. #london2012 #mens4x400 #
20:27 Oh yes. The official #London2012 website allows you to compare the medal count of one country and against any other http://t.co/6prZ6SSD #
20:16 Yorkshire still leads Scotland 8 medals to 7 - http://t.co/qVMGwVBO #london2012 #devolution #
20:05 my Exhibit A being that footy club president calling the opening ceremony, marathon and triathlon. #london2012 #ch9fail #
20:04 seriously, if you're a media org covering the greatest sporting event in the world you assemble the best possible team. Not run a junket #
20:02 Michael Slater calling the diving is proof that channel 9 lacks depth in Olympic-standard commentators. #london2012 #ch9fail #
20:00 Australia's 12-0 lead in silver medals over Kazakhstan remains unchanged. #london2012 #
18:59 You mean to say they cut #ACA five minutes short for *this*? #london2012 #kayak #
18:57 Oh yes. #london2012 #kayak #
18:55 Oh my goodness #kayak #
18:40 Memo ABC: if Bob Hoskins is "Roger Rabbit star" then surely Robert Hughes is "Abba The Movie actor" #
18:08 It's not a good week if your name is Robert Hughes #
17:05 Oh dear. RT @mrtiedt: I can't seriously be expected to run the #City2Surf with this errant apostrophe on my wrist. http://t.co/NjUGj9eQ #
