Ah, the modern Olympics. How noble, how grand and civilised we can be when coming together to celebrate human ability.

The silver medallist from today's 20km walk, Francisco Javier Fernandez of Spain, had this to say...

My silver is as good as a gold. My father and coach died this year and I found it difficult to compete here.


Which certainly puts the press conference given by gold medallist, Italy's Ivano Brugnetti, into perspective. I'm paraphrasing here but he roughly said this...

I knew I was going to beat Fernandez and win gold because Spaniards have no heart


That's the Olympic Spirit
