That was in her first run, they get two runs and the best time counts. She was a few hundreths of a second of first place on her second run !

I think it's still going ahead today.

We need some more gold, Russia are catching us up in the medal tables. We've had one so far today in the sailing, looking for two more with Shanaze Read in the Women's BMX, and Phillips Idowu in the Men's Triple Jump.

She fell off again. TWICE! Oh well, lets hope she has better luck in four years.

A big let down there, she threw away her silver going for gold on the last corner. An Idowu only got silver too.

We've managed to keep the Russians at bay for another day though
