It’s the final day of action at the Rio Olympics, which means there’s nothing but medal events on offer.
The men’s marathon is, as usual, one of the headline events of the final day, but there’s plenty more to sink your teeth into.
Handball and volleyball both have their men’s medal matches today, while for the women, the rhythmic gymnastics will also finish up.
Arguably the biggest treat of the day is the very last event of the entire games: the men’s basketball gold medal match. The USA have won gold in the last two Olympics and, led by the incredible Kevin Durant, they have a red-hot favourite’s chance of making it three straight.
Serbia will be doing their best to cause an upset, but it’s hard to see the Dream Team falling at this hurdle.
After that, it’s off to the Maracana for the closing ceremony to draw to a close these Olympics.
