Well, what can I say? It's been an incredible two weeks of sport over in Rio. Team GB have done enough to secure second in the medal table with China now not being able to overtake.
As expected, GB were on top form and after the women's 4x400m relay bronze medal was won last night, it tipped the medal haul one above what was achieved four years ago in London.
