Double Gold for Kelly. Shock Gold for Men's Relay

MENS RELAY GOLD

Another unbelieveable day for Team GB in the athletics - after going into the games thinking the Brits are likely to win very little in the athletics, we've left with 3 golds.

The awesome Kelly Holmes shows again what athletes should be made of (move over Paula Radcliffe) and runs out an easy winner of the 1500m after winning the 800m only a few days ago.

Holmes becomes the first ever British woman to achieve the middle distance double.

And then, to top off a great evening, the British 4*100m relay surprisingly beats the US team by 1/100th of a second, putting behind their awful performance in the individual event (Darren Campbell, how's your injury?)

Of course, the arrogant US 'Dream Team' basketball team being knocked out in the semis just as sweet to watch :-)

All in all - with Amir Khan already a new boxing hero in the making - regardless of whether he wins gold sunday night, its been a lot better than I thought it was going to be..

Khan is 7/4 to beat Kindelan in Sunday's Lightweight Bout - with Kindelan at 2/5 with Bet 365

Kelly Holmes is currently untouchable to become the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year - if your pockets are in need of emptying, she's currently about 1.18 to win the award on betfair.com and 1/8 with William Hill. Matthew Pinsent is 11/2 and Khan closing in at 14/1 third favourite
