The two-hour barrier is creeping slowly into view. Last year, Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge clocked 2:00:25 for the marathon in a sportswear company’s Breaking Two stunt. With a series of pacemakers dropping in and out and drinks delivered by moped, that time did not count for the record books.
His 2:01:39 in Berlin in September definitely did. It was nearly one minute 20 seconds quicker than the previous world record. Could what once seemed an insurmountable barrier beclose to being scaled?
Britain were pretty good in Pyeongchang weren't they? I didn't like the night shifts though...
Led Zeplin's hit 'Immigrant Song' is the backing music for this montage of the Winter Olympics and Commonwealth Games that is now being shown.
It was also in the film Thor Ragnarok so if you're a fan of Marvel, you'll recognise it.
PS. Stan Lee - LEGEND!
Gary Lineker and Gabby Logan are now recognising the brave rescuers who saved 12 young boys and their football coach after they became trapped in a cave in Thailand.
An experienced former Thai navy diver died while trying to supply the boys' cave with oxygen tanks.
A sudden storm caused the passageways to flood, trapping the boys and their coach inside. They had spent nine days in the cave with little food or light when they were discovered on Monday 2 July.

Last year's Sport Personality of the Year winner Mo Farah, with his son - and star of the show in 2017 - Hussien.
"It was amazing! I was really surprised to win on the night.
"As athletes you train as hard as you can and when people vote for you on the night, it's truly an honour.
"There are so many amazing athletes here, I'll be getting a selfie later!"
At least Liverpool picked up a win today though, eh?
