Good morning. British competitors have been revelling in the glory of

their most successful day at an Olympics since 1908. Team GB won

six golds, two in rowing, 14 Cycling and three within an hour in

athletics. It is Britain's biggest Olympic medal haul in a single day

for more than a century. It was the best night of her life. And the

best Olympic day for Britain in over 100 years. Heptathlete Jessica

Ennis was one of six to take gold. Mo Farah also made medal history,

to the delight of some unbiased BBC presenters. Go! Yes! Greg

Rutherford also took gold. Alongside the men's four, the

women's pursuit team and the lightweight women's double sculls.

And now the day after, and Britain's heroes are wondering if

it was all a dream. I spent most of the night when I managed to get

home staring at the ceiling and trying to taking what just happened.

I still haven't, to be honest. I was fortunate enough to come here

last night and see my family and celebrate with them a bit, but I'm

pretty tired now when wishing my body would shut down but it won't.

I'm still running on the adrenalin from last night. When I stepped

into the stadium before the hurdles, it was such an incredible feeling.

As soon as my name was mentioned the crowd went wild. It was such a

great feeling. I said before, it sounds really cheesy, the crowd

will help you, but it did so much, especially in the running events.

It could have pushed you along. 80,000 people left this stadium in

eight days. It was a day they will never forget, and the day that

Super Saturday Live DOT to its name. -- lived up to its name. Another

packed day of Olympic sport is getting under way it. It culminates

in the men's 100m final this evening. The sailing starts shortly,

with high hopes for Team GB's Ben Ainslie, Andrew Simpson and Iain

Percy. Expectations for more British medals.

Absolutely. We are the favourites for both the gold medals at the

Racing for today. They will be on the water soon. This is the slipway,

the Finn boats, Ben Ainslie will launch from here in the official

venue. The Star boats are already on the water. This is Ben Ainslie's

boat, getting the on-board camera fitted, the front four boats in the

fleet will have these on-board cameras for fantastic pictures. The

fact is that this boat needs to be to the boat behind it, the Dane,

Hogh-Christensen. That is the principal battle between these two

men. That starts at 2pm. The Star class, Andrew Simpson and Iain

Percy, that starts at 1pm. They are both favourites for gold. The

Syrian government has said that 20,000 soldiers are now in and

around the country's second city Aleppo, preparing for an intensive

assault against rebel fighters. Military jets, helicopter gunships

and heavy weapons are already being used to attack parts of the city.
