      Well that semi was also a slowish one so Dai Greene qualifies for the final.  Hope he can turn it around.

      Let's hope so. Will have to be a massive turnaround though.

      Jessica Ennis getting closer. Will it be our Cathy Freeman moment?

      That said - Mo Farah could do something special in these Olympics.

      Made a note of these times earlier:

      Women's Heptathlon 20.35 and 20.59, guessing Jess will be in the last race.

      Men's 10,000m 21.15.

      *butterflies* :D

      Good run by Christine Ohuruogu, season's best time in her semi final.  Looked strong in the last 150m!

      Greg Rutherford in inspired form. Crowd absolutely wild! Oh to be an athlete representing Great Britain in that stadium at the moment! Incredible atmosphere.

      Wow. I've got goosebumps all down my back. That was incredible. Jessica Ennis is a star!

      And Greg Rutherford has nailed the long jump.

      I've never heard an atmosphere like it. Only Anfield in the champions league semi final in 2005 compares.
