Today was a bit of a medal rush for TeamGB with three Golds and three Silvers in a range of sports.
Gold and Silver were won in the two-man canoe slalom with Etienne Stott and Tim Baillie winning Gold and David Florence and Richard Hounslow winning Silver. Two medals in the same final isn't bad at all. That led on to winning Gold in the men's cycle sprint team with Sir Chris Hoy, Philip Hindes and Jason Kenny winning in a new world record time. That'll be a big weight off Chris's shoulders as one of the leaders of TeamGB who held the standard for the team at the Olympic Opening Ceremony. The final Gold was won by Peter Wilson in the men's shooting.
The second Silver was in rowing in the men's lighweight coxless fours with Richard and Peter Chambers, Rob Williams and Chris Bartley, and this is the team's third rowing medal, keeping the sport in the spotlight. The final Silver was for Gemma Gibbons in judo and, I think, I'm most pleased about that. Seeing the footage of each of her bouts, the personal battle and her joy and celebration of each win was a lovely sight. She enjoyed herself and that comes across strongly - that's what it should be about. Well done Gemma!
