Torchcam is zipping around Great Britain but there's news coming through on the live feed of a few other sports.
;)

0956: Meanwhile, on a village green somewhere to the east...
Team GB's volleyball team have been getting in some practice on Parliament Square!
Here they are saying hello to some local police officers.

Oh, heavens! Don't let J see that one - based on previous comments I dread to think what he'd say about this :red devil:

I wonder if they had many car accidents from peeps driving past.

Darn those Brits, just beat the Canucks. ;)

Just filling out an application form for my new dream job:
Sand-raker at the women's beach volleyball in Rio 2016...

It is a bit weird though - watching girls in bikinis playing volleyball on a beach while the commentator is going "She's serving from the Downing Street end!"

I'm watching the proper volleyball this morning.

[davech]

I'm watching GB v Algeria in the volleyball at the moment. It's pretty entertaining stuff - Algeria just won a very close first set 25-22.

[cazza99]

Johnny Mac is at the beach volleyball tonight.

[Hawkeye]

People who have actually met me might find it hard to believe, but I play volleyball every week and I love it! Not quite the same sport as these ladies are playing but lots of fun.

GB win their first ever set in Olympic volleyball as they level it at 1-1.

[RoastLamb]

I love volleyball coz both my kids are in v-ball leagues and I have to chauffeur them around and watch them. Not quite the same league as this, though. :rolling:

[davech]

It was an impressive win for team GB last night in their first ever Olympic victory against Algeria: 22-25 25-19 23-25 25-19 15-8! :phew: :yahoo:

[Hawkeye]

It was great, well worth staying up for!
