So proud of Andy Murray, he deserved that Gold, especially after a loss at Wimbledon. He really showed Roger Federer what he's got! #TEAMGB!

Pretty sure Murray would have a good shot at beating these two even without his lady friend #TeamGB

so pleased that Andy Murray won GOLD :-) He really did deserve it, and to think he's on the way to another gold :-) #teamgb

robson needs to stand at the back and let murray do it

Cycling: Ed Clancy four points away from three equal first cyclists. Clancy has to win and one of the leaders has to get fifth or less. It's a slim chance for Clancy.

Fair play to Andy Murray playing 2 finals in a day
