We haven't had too many surprise golds, so that could be the story of the Games from a British standpoint.

: A lovely way to end the Games, watching Emily Campbell pick up her second Olympic medal.
Great athlete, great person.
She is the first British lifter since Louis Martin in the 60s to win multiple medals.
BREAKING: Casey Dawson has tested NEGATIVE for COVID-19 & is planning on competing in the men’s 1500m immediately after flying more than 11,000 miles in 31 hours. (Also, his luggage was lost and will have to borrow someone else’s blades)

Still the best sporting moment I've ever seen live.

What an inspiring bloke
@Samuel_Ward13
is.
72 international 🏑 goals, a miracle injury recovery and a clothing brand on the way. Not bad for a 'chubby lad from Leicester.'
Great to spend an hour in Sam's company, content coming 🔜
Looking through some old boxes and found my first ever match report.
Intro needs work, decent match action, strong on gratitude but poor on surnames. We was definitely robbed.
Alfie Hewett is probably the most impressive British athlete here. At the absolute top of his game, going for two gold medals in a great sport and a class act to boot.
It’s

day!
There is simply no more electrifying and life-affirming event to work on in Britain.
Can’t wait to chat to the finishers later 🎥💪
