@MikeC:

USA Women's 4x100 Relay. We just owned you Jamaica. Let's see what happens when my man Justin Gatlin and the USA men take on Bolt & Jamaica in the 4x100 tomorrow…..

Um um…

[Giles]

Still waiting…....

[bagley920]

I wasn't of the opinion that we were gonna take that one but it was a great race. When it was even coming down to the last leg, I knew Bolt would take it.

What an awesome closing ceremony… London, you put on an incredible Olympics!

Highlights for me:

Usain Bolt
Mo Farah
Lisa Carrington
London

I've decided I'm gonna go to Rio in 2016... who's with me?

[RocknRoll]

Missed the closing ceremony, but agree that London came out of all this looking pretty damn good.

The marathon route was a tourist extravaganza featuring all the big sights. Cliched perhaps, but an awesome advertisement for the place.

Can't understand why Gosport didn't feature more prominently…

Two comments:
First, why does Ralph Lauren hate the Olympics so much?  The opening ceremony outfits were awful and the closing ceremony ones are worse, which I honestly didn't think possible.

Second, Take That closed the ceremony?  Is that the British way of saying, "Thanks for coming, now get the hell out, you wankers"?

[RocknRoll]

Kitch patriotism, bizarre outfits, and performances by musical has-beens seem to be Olympic opening/closing ceremony traditions. It certainly happened in Sydney in 2000, and made most of us who live here cringe.

True story RnR.
however nothing can compare to the horror of Meatloaf at last years AFL grand final 

[MikeC]

I'm sick of seeing the USA athletes in Chinese made clothing. One of the most developed countries in the world can't even get their clothing made locally. WTF?!?!?

[Chris]

Says the man wearing Japanese made clothing…

[Seul]

Clever…

[FurattoHeddo]

Hehe, little perv

[Seul]

Nowt perv about admiring a beautiful strong lady… Or her arse...

[FurattoHeddo]

No, but maybe a little more discretion is needed for live TV … Great clip. More importantly who is the runner?
