Gemma Gibbons has a Silver medal in Judo and will be competing for the Gold at some point this afternoon. Brilliant achievement, the first medal for twelve years by anyone for Britain in Judo.

Not bad so far today.. with another (at least) silver guaranteed in the judo final.

So good that the BBC website has gone down! In fact, the whole Internet is crawling and Twitter may as well not bother as it's quicker to write down your message and post it.

Silver in the Judo, not quite good enough to overcome the American but still a great achievement by her.

Don't go back to the Test Match - cycling coming up......

NB..we have moved up the medals table overtaken Mr "I got nine holes in one on my first ever round of golfs" team

I thought it was 11 holes in one? Surely 9 isn't that impressive. Even I got 10 in my first round... didn't you?

Yes, but the people of North Korea think he's single-handedly won every gold medal on offer.

Jessica Ennis starts her heptahlon campaign by recording the fastest ever time in the 100m hurdles for a multi event athlete.

Her time also sets a new British Record for the 100m hurdles overall.
