London 2012 Olympics Day 14: British Sailors in Medal Spotlight, Where to Watch Live
Great Britain's haul of gold medals continued on Day 13 of the London 2012 Olympic Games, with Nicola Adams, Charlotte Dujardin and Jade Jones adding to the already impressive count of 22 gold for these Games. Meanwhile, Jamaican Usain Bolt ran the most stunning 200m for his second gold of the London 2012 Games and secure his place as one of the all-time greatest sprinters. Compatriot Yohan Blake, of whom much was expected, particularly after being Bolt in a 100m national time trial earlier in the year, could not quite step up to the mark when it counted, finished 0.12s behind Bolt's 19.32s mark.
