I've now got GB v Aus basketball...is it live...bloody BBC don't say if anything is live or a replay

What's with all the 'ooooo arrrrrrrrrrr ya' carp from the crowd. It's not soccer...keep that rubbish for the terraces.

JAS

it is live we have track and field events on

Thanks again Thiele...they're now flitting between the basketball and the athletics

Great watching the blind girls in the 100m heats running with their male guide runners...fantastic example of teamwork.

Will Pistorius be the Paralymic answer to Usain Bolt??? He's even havng to run in the wrong class cos he's the only person there that's lost both legs.
