Team GB golden girl Jessica Ennis and our captain, hurdler Dai Greene, begin their bids for glory as the Olympic athetics get underway today.

Elsewhere, our double world champion rowers Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins go for gold in the women's double sculls this lunchtime, while Victoria Pendleton will aim to put yesterday's team cycling disqualification behind her to focus on her individual events at the Velodrome.

We got three golds yesterday - as Sir Chris Hoy and his teammate won the men's sprint cycling, along with Dorset's Peter Wilson in the double trap shooting, and Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott the canoe slalom - as well as three silvers.
