I don't really get the dancing horse business. Not really interested either, if I'm honest. But well done to the British Doris (hopefully) – close to 94% in ANYTHING has got to be pretty amazing, right?

Opening ceremony tomorrow evening and from what I've seen on Social Media it's going to be an absolute belter. Plenty of dancing girls, samba beat, carnival atmosphere and vibrant colours, should be a sight to behold.


Any other highlights people are looking forward to?? Road race on Saturday should be good and an early chance for GB to strike gold and the swimming should be much improved from our disgusting showing in London.

Shame they have not had the crowds it still makes me so proud of the London Olympics and para Olympics wil done Great Britain.

I'm not going to be happy if our players give 94%

Out of 110%, 94 is poor.

What on earth was going through Cavendish's head there? At the very least it was stupid riding.

Hope I'm wrong but have a feeling Cavendish will let the race happen and end up out the medals or bronze at best.

Not at all, he knew his strength and defended / attacked for Silver rather than going all out and ending with nothing
