Tokyo Olympics LIVE RESULTS: Closing Ceremony ends Games, Price WINS boxing gold after Kenny makes history – latest

FLAG BEARER

Laura Kenny carried Team GB's Union flag at the Olympics closing ceremony, JOSHUA MBU reports.

Kenny won her fifth Olympic title on Friday in the women’s madison alongside Katie Archibald, becoming the first British woman to win gold at three successive Games.

On being selected to be Team GB's flagbearer, Kenny said: "An absolute honour to be selected as the Team GB flagbearer for the Tokyo 2020 Closing Ceremony, and it rounds off my Games experience.

"The past 18 months have been tough for everyone, and I really hope me and my Team GB teammates have given the nation something to celebrate.

"It hasn’t quite sunk in that I am now Britain’s most successful female athlete, all I know is that I’ve worked so hard to be here and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family, friends and everyone at British Cycling."

FINAL TABLE

And here's how the Olympic Medal Table looks at the conclusion of Tokyo 2020.

The USA began the day two golds behind China but Jennifer Valente's win in the women’s omnium, a gold for the women’s basketball team and an Olympic title for the Women's Basketball team saw them leapfrog China in the final hours of the Games.

Hosts Japan finished an impressive third with 27 gold medals, smashing their previous best gold haul of 16 to represent a highly successful home Games.

Team GB came home in fourth, a brilliant effort to back up their second place finish at Rio 2016 and third at London 2012.

A total of 65 medals overall is more than what was expected of Great Britain, and overall the Games can be considered a huge success for Britain's Olympians.

FIRST TO LAST

Tom Pidcock (top) kicked off Team GB's gold medal rush at Tokyo 2020 as he won the Men's BMX race on Day Four of the Games.

That seems like a lifetime ago.

Twenty more gold medals followed that until Lauren Price's victory in the Women's middleweight Boxing final this morning marked the last gold medal for Team GB in one the last events to take place.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT

Next up on the Summer Olympic agenda are the Paris Games in just three years time.

But there's plenty of action to enjoy before that.

The Tokyo Paralympics get underway later this month, running from August 24 to September 5.

And then there's the Winter Olympics to look forward to!

Beijing is the host city for those Games which kick off on February 4, 2022 and finish on February 22.

The sport just keeps coming!

HEARTBREAK

But of course there were moments of heartbreak.

Team GB's Adam Gemili picked up an injury just minutes before competing in the 200m, but still lined up to try and run with the injury in true Olympic spirit.

Unfortunately he pulled up injured just a few steps into the race, ending any medal hopes for the well fancied Brit.

The 27-year-old picked himself up to hobble to the line and cross it in tears, in what is one of the must tear-jerking images of the Games.

BRITAIN'S BEST

After what was a disappointing Games until the final day the entire nation was willing Jason Kenny to victory in the keirin this morning.

And boy did he deliver.

He surged clear of the rest of the field with three laps to go to storm to a remarkable SEVENTH Olympic gold medal, and ninth medal medal overall.

SUPER SKY

And who could forget Sky Brown?

The 13-year-old became not just Great Britain's youngest ever Summer Olympian but she also became Team GB's youngest ever Summer Olympic medallist.

She scooped a brilliant bronze in the Women's BMX park event after recovering from falls on her first two runs to handle the pressure and put in a medal worthy performance on her third and final run.

She's said that she's got her eyes on competing in both Surfing and Skateboarding at the Paris Olympics in three years time, where she will still be just 16-years-old!

BEST BITS

There have been so many highlights over the last sixteen days but what's been your favourite moment?

Is it Jason Kenny's win in the keirin today, making him the most successful British athlete of all time with seven gold medals?

Is it Adam Peaty defending his Olympic title in the 100m breaststroke, or is it Max Whitlock's stunning pommel horse gold?

Or maybe Tom Daley finally getting his hands on an Olympic gold medal at his fourth Games was your favourite moment as he won the Olympic title in the Diving 10m synchro event.

Perhaps it's Katie Archibald and Laura Kenny's dominant victory in the madison, making Laura the first British woman to win gold at three consecutive Games.

Matt Walls stunning omnium gold in the Izu Velodrome was also a standout moment, as was Charlotte Worthington being the first woman to perform a 360 backflip on her way to winning BMX freestyle gold.

And if BMX is your thing maybe your favourite moment was seeing Kye Whyte win silver in the Men's race and then Bethany Shriever winning gold in the Women's race just minutes later.

Or maybe it's the Boxing that you enjoyed the most as six out of 11 Team GB boxers came away with medals, including stunning golds for Lauren Price and Galal Yafai.

It's impossible to choose what the best moment has been, but those are just a few for you to reminisce on.

TERRIFIC TIME IN TOKYO

It's been a Games to remember for Team GB.

A medal tally of 65 including 22 golds represent the joint second-most successful Olympics in the modern era.

It levels the medal tally from London 2012 and is just two medals behind the record haul of 67 from Rio 2016 five years ago.

What will that number be in three years time at the conclusion of the Paris 2024 Games?

STUNNING FINISH

Tokyo has certainly bowed out in style.

FROM ONE TO THE NEXT

From one country to the next.

"Arigato" translates from Japanese to English as "thank you," and France have thanked Tokyo for being such brilliant hosts.

They've got the difficult task of living up to such a fantastic Games, but they're sure to deliver.

THANK YOU TOKYO

And that's the end of the Closing Ceremony from Tokyo 2020.

It marks the end of an historic Games that have given so many people such joy in what has been a year like no other.

There was uncertainty whether the Games would even go ahead at one point, but thankfully they have, one year later than scheduled.

Team GB have provided us with some memorable moments, winning 65 medals in total, the second highest medal haul in the modern era.

It equals the 65 medals won at London 2012 and is just two less than the record haul from Rio 2016.

22 golds, 21 silvers and 22 bronze represent a remarkable Olympic Games for Team GB who were not expected to have as much success as they did.

It's been a pleasure bringing you so many brilliant moments.

Thank you for joining us.

We'll see you in Paris.

END OF THE ROAD

The moment the Tokyo Olympics officially ended.

Next up is Paris.

Those Games are held between July 26-August 11, 2024.

OVER AND OUT

The Olympic Flame is put out.

And there's a message from Japan on the big screen.

It simply reads "Arigato" which translates as "Thank you."

FLAME EXTINGUISHED

The final act is for the Olympic flame in the Tokyo Olympic Stadium to be extinguished.

The flame slowly dims as darkness consumes the stadium.

The Olympic flame is out, the Tokyo 2020 Games are over.

DOZING OFF

The Closing Ceremony is proving to be too much for some athletes it seems.

MORE FROM THOMAS

"We did it together.

"And now I have to mark the end of this most challenging Olympic journey.

"I declare the Games of the 32nd Olympiad closed."

THOMAS TALKS

Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, is making a speech to conclude the Games.

He praises the Olympians for their ability and competition, and thanks them for unifying people through sport through such unprecedented times due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

He says for the first time since the pandemic began the whole world came together, and have been united by sport, giving the world hope and faith for the future.

He says: "The Olympic Games of Tokyo 2020 are the Olympic Games of hope, solidarity and peace."

SPECIAL MOMENT

Watch the live scenes from Paris as the Olympic handover from Japan to France takes place.

There had been plans to fly a football pitch sized flag from the Eiffel Tower, but unfortunately the weather conditions mean that is not possible.

ARIGATO TOKYO

All that's left to do now is hand the Olympic Torch from Japan to France.

It's the end of an Olympic Games nobody will forget due to the extraordinary circumstances.

A year after they were scheduled to take place the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Thank you Tokyo, it's been a pleasure.

OUT OF THIS WORLD

Listen to the moment La Marseillaise is performed from the International Space Station as it looks down on Japan.

BONJOUR PARIS

The handover is complete!

OVER TO YOU

Pictures are now being projected showing live scenes from Paris, as a crowd gathers to celebrate the countdown to Paris 2024.

There's some Breakdancing going on, which of course makes its Olympic debut in three years.

HANDOVER

The Olympic flag is handed from the Governor of Tokyo to the President of the IOC (top) and then from the President of the IOC on to the Mayor of Paris.

FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM

And now La Marseillaise echoes around the Olympic Stadium.

It's being performed remotely from various locations in Paris, rather than inside the stadium.
