This, it was pathetic, the winner other than KO was decided before they started.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Not much of an excuse, but they simply don't know any better. The only sports which they watch this is perfectly normal, sportsmanship doesn't play a part.
Aye. I suppose the thinking is to have the 100m - the marquee event - at the start to ensure the top stars are fresh enough to go full pelt for fast times. After a week of relays and 200m races, they'd be carrying a fair bit of fatigue in those legs. Still, there should be some room for maneouvre there with the other events to finish on more of a high.
Yeah, I think having 100m when they do is fine. Im not too bothered cos the final day should be about wrapping up but then mostly the closing ceremony.
Also what an outstanding effort from Team GB. So proud of all of them, great effort.

Jesus, BBC going overboard with the bloody montages.
True, 100m is probably a bad example - would just be nice in general to see something big closing off the games. Even Farah's race last night would be kind of cool to have as a last major event.
They cant do anything in the stadium because they need time to prepare for the closing ceremony.
Ah right, makes sense then.
Going to be so weird to watch an Olympics without Phelps or Bolt.
Actually with these games, they could have, as have just looked and the ceremony's take place in the Maracana, not the athletics stadium
Agree with the comments that I think the Olympics need some kind of marquee finale. They kind of peater out in the last day or two.
Maybe they need to ditch those ceremonies.
As a fan of distance running I think having the men's marathon on the final day is a fitting finale.
Sad that it's over but incredibly proud of Team GB.
Bit of a shame I won't be able to catch any of the 2020 games due to the time difference.

HAH @ the Mongolian wrestling coaches who stripped themselves when they thought that the refs made a mistake by giving the opponent a match-winning point with five seconds left.. It actually was a correct decision ´cause the Mongolian ran away from the opponent during the last seconds of the match and that is penalized by one point. You can watch it on YT..
Maybe Mo as well he be 37 then
HA HA not even the commentators knew what that was all about.
Good show by GB to beat everyone except USA in the medals table. We're not as bad at this sport thingy as England vs. Iceland suggested.
come on get on with it , I am bored now.
Did not watch as much as I usually do but really enjoyed seeing Bolt, Phelps, Ledecky, Mo and many others perform.
But GB reached the semifinals
This Ozzie article is brilliant. The sour grapes from them, the French and the Germans is hilarious. They can't compete so either complain about funding or insinuate something untoward was done by our athletes.

Touche. There's much more to GB than Hodgson, Rooney, Hart et al, as the Euros and Olympics have shown.But GB reached the semifinals
Super fecking mario!
Their PM is in their segment? Boris must be gutted he never considered the Tory leadership sooner.,
Sport's climbing sounds kinda cool, looking forward to that.
If we Team GB is gunning for surfing Gold we'll need a new elite centre at Newquay.

turned it off , it was dreadful.
I tuned back in to see the Tokyo's promo for 2020.
I can sort of remember London's Cpenilosing Ceremony: Take That, something similar to the pyramid challenge off of Gladiators, and some pretty good fireworks.

Dude is freezing, let him shut up.
I think he has Parkinsons.
Yeah looked like it.
Finishing the games with Basketball of all sports (it's an awesome sport but just too one sided for an international sport as the final just showed) is a bit anticlimactic, an athletics event would be better.
Four-time Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah plans to end his track career after next year's World Championships in London - but has not ruled out running the marathon at Tokyo 2020.

That Toyko part was brilliant
There's always the Paralympics.
Looks like you need some redcafe advice. The resident Don Juans can help.
Team GB phenomenal for such a small set of nations. Second to only the US in the world. Amazing!
Stake out the airports today. Maybe make a sign advertising last chance for a little Brazilian before you go!
10 medals, 5 golds. For such a small country and a country which invests so little in sport its truly incredible.
