tourmaline: (London 2012)
The Women's Modern Pentathlon has just finished, with Team GB winning silver - so we've medaled at every Women's Modern Pentathlon since it became an Olympic sport in 2000 - giving Team GB one gold and two silvers on the final day, with two medals in the men's boxing. A total of 65 medals, 29 of them gold, a comfortable third on the medal table which even winning all the sparkly events meant Russia couldn't catch us.

The Closing Ceremony starts in just over an hour's time if you're in the stadium, or two-and-a-half hour's time if you're watching on TV. I don't want to look back too hard on the Olympics until they're well and truly over, but I'm so thrilled and proud at how fabulous it's all been. Really, it's been awesome beyond anything I could imagine before they started. We've got a bit of a break after they finish, then on 29 August the Paralympics starts.
