In women, the Chinese double Tian Jia/Wang are doing well, thank you very much, although they lost the first set agains the Belgium pair.

- In Tennis, Venus and Serena are through to the third round with comfortable wins. The Chinese lose one of their representatives in women as Peng Shuais is beaten by Alize Cornet. Daniela Hantuchova again makes a mess out of it and loses to the unseeded Caroline Wozniacki. Wunder-kind Agnieszka was shown the way out of the Olympics by unseeded Francesca Schiavone. Match of the day will oppose Lleyton Hewitt to Rafael Nadal.

-In Artistic Gymnastics, the Men's team final was very much dominated by China who took Gold, followed by Japan and a US team that hadn't had a promising start but delivered at the end for a Bronze medal and narrowly relegating the German team to the wooden spoon. Korea, Russia and Romania were very close in what could have been a very different bronze medal setting.
