Nothing sums up the Olympics better than this selection of images of winners and losers. Four years of training have gone into these emotions…

…including those of Italy's Diego Occhiuzzi (right, picture 1), celebrating his win over Romania's Rares Dumitrescu in their men's sabre individual semi final.

Yuki Otsu (picture 2) was in similar mood after scoring against Spain in Japan's first round game at Hampden Park, as was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (picture 3) after beating Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci at Wimbledon.

Tucker’s luck

It’s not as if confirmation were needed that Boris Johnson likes to eat. But here it is – a shot of him tucking into tiffin at London’s Olympic Park this week. The most remarkable thing about this moment is not that the giant buffoon is going in without his bib, or indeed his butler, but that he appears to have ordered a portion of dry fish with a dispiriting sludge of beef gravy. It can only be a late addition to the McDonald’s Olympic menu.
