Athletics meets its UK Sport target of 7 medals.

Rowing and modern pentathlon end Rio 2016 as the only sports not to hit.

Athletics joins swimming, diving, triathlon, taekwando and gymnastics as sports where GB got more medals in Rio than London.

USA 88 is a little harsh. They did have a lot of uncontested medals four years earlier.

But that is a remarkable tally.

Sad that it's nearly over, it's been a fantastic games with lots of memorable moments and people.

Apart from the incredible sports men and women I've loved Michael Johnson on the commentary team too, and his Muhammad Ali and Jesse Owens pieces were wonderful.

Top 3 moments? For me:

1. The reaction of the two Brazilian gymnasts in securing silver and bronze in the event Max Whitlock won his first gold in - floor. Heart warming.
2. Justin Rose's reaction to sinking the winning putt in the men's golf. Validated a tournament his colleagues tried their hardest into invalidate.
3. The demise of the Dutch cyclist in the last 10km of the women's road race. Devastating.

HMs: Adam Peaty's nonchalant reaction to smashing the WR in the 100m freestyle heats; Lutalo Mohammed's heartbreaking interview after being beaten by a last second spinning head kick in the Taekwondo; Fiji's dominance in the rugby final; Laura Trott.

Thiago Braz de Silva smashing his PB twice to beat the world record holder in the pole vault was sporting moment of 2016 for me, amazing stuff
