    My moment would be Michael Phelps in the 200 IM and just his week in general to be honest.

    What he's done for the sport is huge but to make a comeback and achieve what he has is just something else. It's incredible that I've seen an athlete like him in my lifetime and it was so nice to see the human side of him.

    Every performance is incredible but it was the joy and passion and his attitude after the races also. You could tell it just meant so much to him and that's exactly the reason why he wanted to make a comeback. He can retire a very content happy man now.

    Yes, this really is someone impersonating North Korea leader Kim Jong-un. Lots and lots of questions. Too many.

    The most important is 'why?'

    This section of the parade was scheduled to last about 20 minutes.

    Just going back to Eilish McColgan, I wonder if she actually walked into the stadium. If she did, how did she get out? She would have to walk against the tide. There's GB rower Helen Glover, getting very excited when she sees herself on the big screen.

    It's raining heavily enough for the ponchos to be required. Let's be honest, no one looks cool in one of those plastic ponchos, do they?

    Now, Eilish McColgan did tweet earlier on to say how cold she is. Now she's bailed out completely. That's not the spirit, is it?

    Canadian athletes

    I kid you not, the Canadians are wearing mittens. Red and white gloves with maple leaves. Is it that cold? Or is it just a nod to their Winter Olympic prowess?

    The venues have been superb and allowed the athletes to produce the performances that we will always remember. This is a proud sporting nation.

    Now then, if we're talking about favourite moments of the Games, this is mine.

    If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend you watch.

    When Mongolian wrestling coaches don't like a decision in the wrestling, they do the only thing they can do. Strip.

    If you haven't seen an angry Mongolian man strip to his boxers, you haven't lived.

    Jackie Bell:  Don't forget the success in the diving! First ever gold and the only one not won by the dominant Chinese

    Stephanie Siu: Best moment for me... Max Whitlock looking more nervous waiting for other gymnasts than his own performances!

    We have learned so much about this fantastic part of the world and that is always a part of the experience of the Olympic Games.

    It would definitely be Max Whitlock winning his two golds and for the pure fact it is the first time ever. Obviously also the overall results of the gymnasts and winning seven medals. 

    I do also have to put in a mention for Mo Farah winning the double double and Adam Peaty winning gold.

    I think we're all a little intrigued as to what the fluffy yellow and green outfits could be part of. My guess is some sort of Sesame Street sketch.

    It's smashing it down in Rio now. I hope the parading athletes have got ponchos in their pockets. While they continue their march, some ladies in green have begun to dance energetically. Each is holding an umbrella. It's like an interpretive dance version of the weather forecast.
