I didn't think I was particularly bothered about the Olympics. But it's got me. Today is epic. Watching Jessica Ennis, under unimaginable pressure, hold her nerve and coolly deliver above and beyond. Rutherford jumping long. Mo Farah putting the pedal to the metal and sailing past his rivals.
High drama. Tension. Triumph. Tears. You'd have to be dead inside to remain unmoved.
Cycling. Rowing. Now athletics. What is going on? Since when did we WIN stuff?
National identity rebooted. Double thumbs up, indeed.
