Murray is nowhere near the biggest UK star at the games (although if he beats the Fed machine finally at Wimbledon it will be pretty epic).
Don't get me wrong, we're pretty chuffed he's made the final, but the biggest Olympic stars here are the people who don't get the full-on media coverage the rest of the time.
The real Olympic darlings during the Olympics are in sports such as cycling and rowing - Wiggins, Pendleton, Hoy, Grainger...
By the way, in terms of TV coverage, the BBC has it pretty much nailed over here. 24 HD channels from 8am until midnight showing every minute of every Olympic competition, it's pretty awesome.
PS being beaten by you guys in the women's football ("soccer") is pretty crappy for us, after we beat Brazil the other night. Fair play [doffs cap]
