    Default Great Britain win 4x100

    How about that eh? After those terrible qualifying baton changes, we managed to beat the USA by one one-hundredth of a second The last we won a relay gold was in 1912.

    This on top of Kelly Holmes' gold is positively brilliant.

    We have had a good games, what's that 29ish medals now? Well played. I did doubt them all early on, but they pulled through!

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Surely we won the mens 4x400 a few Olympics ago?

    But yes, top effort.
