Well, that's just about the perfect end to these Games for the host nation. Their national football hero Neymar has hit the winning penalty to secure the country's first ever Olympic football gold medal. ] Neymar made a stuttering run in before burying it high into the net to the keeper's left. And it's bedlam in the Maracana! Has the modern pentathlon men's shot and run been on yet? Got into it yesterday and would love to see more! Also well done to Brazil! Tears for the host nation!
