Not been following some sports as they don't interest me so excuse my ignorance but apart from dressage, Mo Farah in the 5000m and Tom Daley I can't think of any real obvious gold medal contenders.

Might not be any more from here-on in?

Off the top of my head you are missing womens 470 sailors who are a shade odds on to win gold, Kerrie Ann Payne 6/4 ish for open water swimming and a sprint canoeist also about the 6/4 mark. There are also quite a few boxers left in 2 of which are now favourite to win . Oh and the Bmx'er as mentioned above but I rate her chances slim to none

Ahhh ok thanks

Boxing doesn't interest me at all and i've not been keeping up to date with the sailors/canoeists.

I was aware of Shanaze Reade but she's not had an ideal start?

Yes guaranteed silver but the Australians look nailed on to me for gold - hope I'm wrong though Laugh

yes bex, looks like the aussies should just match race them out of it, you never know though, they could get a penalty or stitch the start and that might open the door

the comments by Brendan Foster and performance by Dobrisky tonight were telling - she might spring a surprise.

Despite looking jaded today, I'm sure Mo Farah will be ready for 5k by Saturday evening.

I thought he was just being a bit too patriot/optimistic. She might have an outside chance of a medal, but gold? I doubt it.

Dobriskey will get boxed in, finish full of running in fourth and then give an interview in that stupid 'little-girl-lost' on helium voice saying how much she has learned from competing here.
