• 1240: What an Olympics for New Zealand's rowers - Mahe Drysdale's victory sees the Land of the Long White Cloud claim their third gold medal on the tranquil waters at Eton Dorney, an extraordinary achievement for a country with just over four million inhabitants. Ondrej Synek of the Czech Republic takes silver while Britain's Alan Campbell earns a well-deserved bronze medal.

• 1233: The "Blade Runner", if you are unfamiliar with the moniker, is the nickname of South Africa's Oscar Pistorius, who will become the first double amputee to compete at the Olympics when he runs in the 400m heats on Saturday.
