Those Karate Kata Kids are paranoid.

There’s no one there.

I've been getting up at 7:30 to watch the cycling every day; just found out it starts at 2AM tomorrow. Cannot decide whether to stay up late, get up early or give it a miss.

I was disappointed when they said it was on at 2am tomorrow as I don't start work until 6am and I'm not getting up that early for it.

Now someone has gone sick at work so I'm starting at 2am, I'd rather miss the cycling to be honest.

At least the Japanese censors did not pixillate that area.

What a last day of the Olympics.

Kipchoge covered the stretch between 30K and 35K in 14:28, 30 seconds faster than any previous 5K split!

Jason Kenny deciding to go for home right from the start in the Keirin and destroying the field. Fortune favours the brave.

Lauren Price taking gold in the Middleweight Boxing. 6 GB medalists (2G, 2S, 2B) from 11 fighters is an excellent return.

For GB, 22 Golds, 21 Silver, 22 Bronze - equal to the London medal count.

It's been a lovely sporting holiday.

If you haven’t watched the Keirin, go to the BBC website and do so…….unbelievable ride by Kenny.

5 more golds than Australia and 19 more medals in total.

7 more medals than host nation Japan.

2 more golds than Russia.

It's been good.


Now that the USA have 1 more gold than China, one wonders if their preferred choice of medal table will revert back to the traditional form...

They wouldn't do that......would they?

But yes, fabulous to get those final two Golds and finish where we are. After an initial feeling of 'meh', right at the start, I thoroughly got into those Games and enjoyed nearly every moment of it.

Roll on Paris.

Absolutely remarkable. 2012 medal total matched…and spread across 25 sports. More than any other country.

Probably a bit ignorant but the track cycling looks so easy.

Jason Kenny in the Keirin just seemed to wizz round on his bike at his own leisure unchallenged

Well done team GB, particularly the modern pentathlon pair, 5 very different disciplines.

However, can someone please enlighten me how a bunch of girls (and/or non binary competitors) throwing hoops and batons at each other is considered an Olympic sport but squash isn't?

 

[highflyer]

Squash is a genuine mystery.
I have zero interest but it seems to be far more suitable than 75% of sports that ARE in the olympics.

Yeah, piece of piss. I might go in for it in three years. Just need to buy a bike...

Yes indeed.

The Olympics helps to remind us that sport isn't all about £100m players going from one club to another.

It's about people following their passions and making huge sacrifices during their lives for the chance of something that's bigger than money.

Only 3 years until Paris now.

I can't wait.

Loved these Olympics. Great stuff. Finished off by Andrew Cotter being in top form commentating on the closing ceremony.
