My memory is hazy too.

But now you mention Chris Hoy, I do seem to recall him catching Bolt on the line in a memorable finish in the sprint.

Kind of answers the question that no-one remembers who wins silver or bronze. We don't even remember who won gold.

"Three blondes in a boat" I think they were dubbed.

Did Kelly Holmes not win two golds in Beijing? 800m and 1500m.
Philips Idowu got a silver in the long jump.
Ben Ainslie in star? class in sailing.
Brad Wiggins picked up golds in team and individual pursuit I think.
Nicole Cooke won gold/silver in the road race.
Wins in three open water swimming events.
Jo Jackson and Becky Adlington (two) in the pool.
