It's always difficult to give a bit of a "Best Games Ever" tag, seeing as they're so different and so rare. It is, though, probably reasonable to say that London's will live long in the memory. Even the cynicism that had dogged the build-up had no effect whatsoever - for our hosts, a collective light went on the night on the Opening Ceremony and burned brightly for the 17 proceeding days.
From Bolt to Phelps, Shiwen to Farah, Rudisha, Hoy and plenty more besides, we saw some very special performances, and very special athletes. Tears, cheers, Kenny Egan's jackets, we could scarcely have asked for more. We'll now talk about legacy, I'm sure. We'll tune into the Paralympics in a few weeks. But for this blog, that's it folks.
London 2012. It's been real. See y'in Rio.
