Tokyo 2020 - Day 16 events (Sun 8th August)

Last day

Fingers crossed for this last GB boxing match.

 

[Madíson]

GOLD! We needed that - GB will beat ROC for 4th place by one gold medal.

At the top of the table, a few unexepected wins for US means they beat China.

And Jason Kenny took another Gold this morning too, which I missed. We are firmly 4th in the table. Can Russia take any more?

One more, in the handball. But it’s not enough.

I don’t remember a year before with so many track cycling crashes.

Just watched the Keirin - amazing performance.

Oh come now, we can have a separate thread for the closing ceremony can’t we?

Another gold in handball

We’ve done really well in team sports!

@Madison if you don’t mind, I (or someone faster, it might even be you!) will start a closing ceremony thread. It might be as boring as the opening one so I don’t want it to drag your results thread down.

Chuffed Japan held onto 3rd on the medal table, miles past their previous best!

looks like the US just sneaked the top spot

Go for it. Please format the title consistently.
