Well Murray has the big bucks now!

I havn't been watching much of the Olympics today - who was the Team GB woman who fell apart today? I just caught a bit about her on a program but missed the details. Does anyone know who I am talking about - events on Monday!

Personally I think this win is the key to greater things - he's got through some kind of barrier mentally. His concentration and self-belief didn't waver for a second in the final match and idem against Djokovich in the Semis. He has all the shots and now he seems to have found the nerve to win.

More victories will come his way I'm sure of it!

He has already won a lot of tournaments and money Jay - just not a Grand-slam final yet.
I imagine The winged one may be inferring his sponsorship which will be worth more now...

As Susie said: thank goodness the athletes started to enter into the Stadium at that point - All the world in a Stadium- globalisation in its essence- a celebration of humanity.

First ever Saudi Arabian female in the Olympics - lost at Judo...
