"Dai Greene&amp;#039;s disappointment in the 400m hurdles gave the BBC its best audience for the Olympics yesterday (August 6). Some 12m were tuned in to BBC One and Olympics 1 just before 9pm as Greene just missed out on a bronze medal. Athletics didn&amp;#039;t drop below 10 million for much of the evening, helping BBC One to another huge primetime victory. Beth Tweddle&amp;#039;s gymnastics bronze attracted a high of 5.3m at around 3.15pm. Meanwhile, interest in cyclists Victoria Pendleton and Sir Chris Hoy&amp;#039;s fortunes at the Velodrome hit a peak of 7.3m just before 6pm. BBC Three had a quieter day with a high of over 1.6m at 4.30pm, but still managed to beat Channel 4 and Channel 5 in the all-day shares. BBC One&amp;#039;s Olympics Breakfast managed a hefty 1.65m (41%) between 6am and 9am, while the late-night Olympics Roundup took 2.58m (22.1%) from 10.35pm.
