You know the Olympics are nearing the end when we are forced to watch rhythmic gymnastics. Sad

Mhari Spence won the world champs having started 36 seconds back in the last event.  She's 38 back now, so in with a chance.

Is is totally impossible we cannot get the games again in 16 / 20 or 24 years?

Possibly not in London, but Brum, Manchester, Glasgow or Liverpool?

A Livepool/Manc joint bid maybe?

USA had it in 84 and 96.

I think everyone in the GB should be proud of our efforts. Volunteers, politicians, sportspeople and spectators.

Interesting to hear Rogge's words in the closing ceremony. I read that he's never called an Olympics Games "the best ever" while his predecessor said it about every games!

There wouldn't be the money to build an Olympics from scratch anywhere else in the country.

Most of the stadia can be taken down and moved elsewhere

And a silver to finish in the Modern Pentathlon. Only 20% sitting down as well.

Great end to the competition.

Yeah, there'll be less money then - we'd never have bid for an Olympics now.

Must admit I thought it was going to be shit in a typical British not get excited way. But I have loved it!!! Watched literally EVERYTHING apart from Equestrian and Sailing which can GTFO. Even cheered on Andy Murray who I have always detested. Craziness.

Don't care what anyone says, our fans are the best in the world!

Not getting tickets is going to be a big regret of mine for a long time.

Oh an obv love footy.



Even choke up when they do interviews after winning and when you hear the crowd roaring them home in the stadium Cheesy

Two reasons he might not have been in it.  One, it was before his 5,000m run - so he was recovering/preparing for the race. Two, he's sponsored by Nike.  But yeah, would have been great to have the Mobot in it.

If it's only about money, just rotate it between Germany and China for ever.

Madrid is bidding for 2020, pretty sure Spain's economy is in a much poorer condition than the UK's.
