Now the Olympics have finished here are the memories I will look back on:
1. Mo Farah 5000 & 1000 metre double, incredible achievement.
2. Usain Bolt 100m/200m double and the relay record, proof that it was not all talk.
3. US 100m women's relay record.
4. Bradley Wiggins time trial victory in cycling.
5. David Rudisha breaking the 800 metre record.
6. An opening ceremony the trod the line between eccentricity and absurdity well.
7. Jessica Ennis winning the Heptathlon, 200m and 800m in particular.
In short it will be remembered as a great event, despite all the initial worrying (remember the wrong flag being raised for the Koreans?). It is a boost for the countries image, and will probably be a tourist boost for years to come.
