The athletes will enter the arena together. We recognise the flags and flagbearers of our nations. Some of the great stories of the games and some of the best performing athletes for their nations have been given the honour of carrying their flags. One of those that stands out as United States. Her gymnastics throughout the 2016 games was exceptional and peerless. It was a games for the teenagers as well. The Canadian flag bearer is only 16 years of age. Carrying the flag for Ethiopian got the athletics underway. carrying the South African flag Was the only the second woman to win but of Africa. What an Olympic Games team Great Britain has had!

New Zealand flag carried by Lisa Carrington. PA: here they are, the heroes of the games. 11,544 athletes took part in these games here in Rio. They march together. Celebrating the diversity of Britain as well and the culture that exists there in South America, the fifth largest by area. Marching together of athletes in the closings are in it commenced in 1956, when a Melbourne schoolboy wrote a letter to the Olympic Committee suggesting why shouldn't the athletes march together. Carrying the flag for India as we see more of the athletes coming in, she was the first Indian female to won a bronze wrestling medal. I think it is amazing how many athletes are carrying their mobile phones. Just about every athlete that enters has a cell phone, trying to get a shot of something that they won't forget. One of the great messages on these games is that news is spreading across the world. The Ivory Coast, Fiji with built men's rugby sevens, Singapore, Vietnam, Kosovo, Bahrain and Jordan, IOC as well. Michael Phelps was part of a triple dead heat for a gold medal in the 100 m butterfly. Fiji have their first gold medal in the rugby sevens.

Kosovo, one of two delegations competing as an independent nation for the first time, she is ranked number one in the world in a class coming into the Olympic games.

Another captivating display by Usain Bolt of Jamaica, it's as video birthday today. This is as last Olympic Games, third consecutive games that he has won the 100m, 200 and 400m. Eddie calls some of the greatest athletes ever. Only Michael Phelps with his record 23 has more. We put a birthday celebration on for Usain Bolt, 60,000 in the stadium.
