On the other side of the coin, more rigorous drug-testing could hamper Russia and China, while a spread of medals across a broader range of sports for GB will attract greater funding and, hence, better training facilities for Team GB. I agree that - US apart - the rest of the world will catch...

It's pissing down in Rio at the closing ceremony, I'm only watching in case one of the performers gets electrocuted.

I thought Rio put on a great games, shame no one turned up to watch it apart from the tourists. As for Team GB, a better medal haul, medals in more sports, even the swimmers performed. I see no reason why this can't continue in Tokyo, bring it on.

We also saw the nadir of the Games last night, the women's high jump won with 1m 97 by a 37 year old Spaniard, a height beaten by even heptathlon athletes including our own KJT. Maybe she should enter the high jump in Tokyo 2020?

1.34 billion population and only one solitary bronze medal. FFS India, put down the crisps and get off the couch!

I think GB have got the harder of the semis, NZ will provide stiff opposition.

Can Kenny and Trott do no wrong? Marvellous effort this morning from Jason in the diving and Laura in the clean and jerk.

I don't remember Tony Hadley belting out that line.

I dunno about hammer but I'd certainly nail it.

Andy Murray is such a class act, showing max respect to Del Potro at the end of the match. A long embrace between the two players borne out of mutual respect and genuine fatigue, two boxers punched out.

Murray needs to be patient and make DP run more.

I take that point. The IOC bottled it, they lost sight of what the Olympic spirit is all about. That said, I think that through more rigorous testing the IOC can break the back of the problem, whereas the endemic cheating in football will never be removed.

One of the reasons Olympic football doesn't work for me is the endemic cheating in the game. The diving, the feigning injury, the shirtpulling and holding at corners, pressurising the officials etc. The inclusion of football taints the Olympic brand.

The acid test of whether a sport deserves to be in the Olympics is how badly the players and participants themselves want it to be included. A second worthy consideration is whether or not you get a full turnout from the world's best player and participants - for me, a sports like tennis or...

Well done Fiji, awesome ability.

The GB Olympic Cycling Team is probably the most successful team this country has ever produced, a joy to watch.

What a great day for Team GB, so much success, so many good stories, things are really happening now.

I've now got images of Woy in a hardhat.

Mixing concrete for the Pyongyang-Hamhung highway, never to be seen again?
