Sporting heroines of the weekend

Lizzie Armitstead won the silver medal in the women's road race.

Rebecca Adlington won the bronze medal in the 400m freestyle swimming.

As for that Opening Ceremony...amazing scenery and choreography. I didn't see any live animals or the cottage with the smoking chimney. Not convinced about the NHS feature. Children's literature could have been better portrayed. Arctic Monkeys: why? Grime Rap: not my bag. Loved the filmed parts: the countdown, the Queen and James Bond and Mr Bean. What did you think?
