Big afternoon today.

1:23 p.m.: MEDAL UPDATE: It's been a huge day for Great Britain so far. They've won four Gold medals today, blowing past their 2008 total and putting them solidly in third place on the big board. They added three others for a total of 46, one shy of their mark for all of Beijing. China has added seven medals to their total, including three Golds, widening their lead over the United States. The U.S. only has three today, two of them by gymnast Aly Raisman, though they will some chances in the Track and Field finals later.

1:10 p.m.: RESULT: Sir Chris Hoy comes flying back in the final turn of the final event of the 2012 cycling program, the men's Keirin, winning his sixth career Gold Medal, more than any British Olympian in history.

Maximilian Levy of Germany wins Silver and Simon van Velthooven (Australia) and Teun Mulder (Netherlands) share Bronze after tying in a photo finish.

12:52 p.m.: RESULTS: Meares wins the second race and takes Gold, with some brilliant tactics. (She came to full a stop during the race, forcing Pendleton to pass her too soon and wear herself out.) China (again!) gets Bronze with Guo Shuang.

12:47 p.m.: RESULT: China has won Gold in the Women's Team Table Tennis tourney. They beat Japan three-matches-to-none in the final. Singapore won the Bronze over South Korea earlier today.

12:38 p.m.: Pendleton actually won, but was ruled to have interfered with Meares coming down the stretch and was relegated. So she loses the first race, but has two more chances to come back.

12:32 p.m.: The Women's Cycling Sprint event is down to its final, best-of-three matchup between Victoria Pendleton of Great Britain (inside) and Anna Meares of Australia. This was how close they were in their first race:

12:23 p.m.: RESULT: Trailing American Sarah Hammer by two points in the Omnium (a track cycling "decathlon" of sorts, Great Britain's Laura Trott wins the time trial and the Gold Medal in the final heat of the event. Hammer takes Silver and Annette Edmondson of Australia is Bronze.

12:15 p.m.: RESULT: The U.S. women's water polo team beats arch-rival Australia, 11-9 in overtime, to advance to the Gold Medal match.

12:09 p.m.: RESULT: In the last gymnastics event of London 2012, Aly Raisman wins one more Gold for America in Floor Exercise. Catalina Ponor of Romania wins Silver and Aliya Mustafina of Russia gets the Bronze. China takes home the most gymnastics medals (4 gold, 8 total).

Germany holds on to Silver and Great Britain, which had three of the top five scores, is officially Gold. That gives them 20, besting the mark they had in Beijing in 2008. The Top 18 riders from today will move on to the Individual Dressage final later this week.

11:26 a.m.: RESULT: The Netherlands snags a Gold medal in Gymnastics with Epke Zonderland winning the Men's High Bar. Fabian Hambuchen of GErmany is Silver and Zou Kai of (where else?) China takes Bronze.

11:13 a.m.: It looks as though Great Britain is going to win the Team Dressage competition. Two riders still remain, but Denmark and the Netherlands are too far back to knock them out of the Gold spot.

10:34 a.m.: It appears that Americans protested Raisman's score and won, according to Sarah Kwak of Sports Illustrated. The extra points allows her to beat Ponor on a tiebreaker and she takes Bronze.

10:25 a.m.: RESULT: China goes one-two on the Women's Balance Beam as Deng Linlin wins gold and Sui Lu wins Silver. Romania's Catalina Ponor wins Bronze. Aly Raisman is fourth and Gabby Douglas is seventh.

7:25 a.m.: Here's a cool shot the Olympics automated camera-Twitter feeds:

7:09 a.m.: Morning Update: The men's triathlon (live on NBC Sports Network) has reached the cycling portion. Slovakia's Richard Varga was the first triathlete to finish the swim, but is now in a group with four others at the front of the cycling portion. At the stadium, Usain Bolt easily won his first heat in the 200 meters. The Bronze Medal match in Women's Table Tennis is in progress online.

6:01 a.m.: An emotional moment at the Olympic Stadium as Liu Xiang, one of China's most celebrated athletes and the 2004 Gold Medal winner in the 110m Hurdles, wiped out in heat and injured his leg. After heading into the tunnel on, Liu turned around hopped all the way down the track on his one good leg to kiss the final hurdle and "finish" what will likely be his final Olympic race. Then he was helped off the track by his fellow competitors and applause from the crowd.

5:46 a.m.: MEDAL COUNT UPDATE: It's the usual suspects at the top of the Medal Table this morning as China (31 Gold, 19 Silver, 14 Bronze, 64 Total) continues to hold the top spot over the United States (29 Gold, 15 Silver, 19 Bronze, 63 Total). Great Britain is solidly in third place with 18 Golds, 11 Silvers, and 11 Bronze. (40 Total). South Korea, France, Russia, and Italy make up the next group.
