From the moment she ran the 100m hurdles in the best time ever by a heptathlete you could see something special was occurring. An absolute joy to watch, and her processional 800m was amazing http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19131768

1) Gibbons' silver in the judo.
- It doesn't matter that she lost in the final. This had everything. The emotional back-story. The rank-outsider underdog tag. The fact that she carried on fighting despite breaking her thumb in the second round. The fact that she looked like she was on the verge of collapse during every fight. Probably the defining moment for me that, when she gets the ippon on the French World Champion and both just lie there, completely done for but with such contrasting emotions Go to 2:30 of this video and I defy you not to get a tear in teh eye. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19095244
