Michael Phelps bows out with a record medal haul

With a lop-sided smile of satisfaction, the greatest of swimmers and
possibly the greatest Olympian of all time, said farewell with one last
immense performance for the U.S. relay team in the men's 4x100m medley.
Final tally: 18 career golds, 22 medals. He had done everything he set
out to achieve. The world of swimming has lost a titan of the pool.

Usain Bolt wins (and wins and wins)

The world's fastest man and his Jamaica relay team mates provided
three of the enduring moments of the Games. The showman opened his
campaign with a Games record in the 100 metres, followed up by becoming
the first man to retain his titles in the 100 and 200m - where Jamaica
finished 1-2-3 - and then anchored the 4x100 relay to a world record
time.

The moment where Bolt and Yohan Blake caught each others' eyes as
they crossed the finish line in the 200, with the winner putting his
finger to his lips to silence the young pretender, was a classic moment
of theatre.
