Your best moment of these Games
 

To start:

For me, it was that big German weightlifter Matthias Steiner winning the gold in the 105kg competition, overcoming his grief at the death of his wife who died in a car accident in July last year. A different kind of courage.

Mine's a combination of the two.

German Weightlifter
Korean + Ditch
Sally
Rice
Phelps
Bolt 100 and 200

Yeah the German weightlifter was awesome. Also loved the kayaker representing Togo. What a champ.

Bolt's 200 metre effort.

I enjoyed Hacket's race also.

Bolt's 100 meters.

That guy who won the Open Water swim after having Leukemia must have been pretty special, even if he did beat the British guy into silver.

Eric Shanteau must be up there. Only came 10th in the 200m breastroke, failing to make the final, but has put off treatment for testicular cancer to compete.

One almost hesitates to call it "ballsy", but... :ph34r:

There have been 17 of these great moments so far tbh :ph34r:

The ones dav and Brumby said seem hard to go past, though

Steph Rice - 3 Gold, deadset stunner
Sally McLellan - hurdling silver
Anna Mears - Womens Sprint Silver medal, 7 months ago she had a broken neck
Phelps - 8 gold
Bolt - 200m, whoa, WR into a headwind ffs
Patrick Mills - announced himself as a star of the future in Basketball, wonderful tournament

Best moments for me would have to be "Super Saturday" with the rowers, Roulston and Vili securing five Kiwi medals, and Willis' bronze in the 1500m.

Bolt and CERTAINLY the amazing Mr. Phelps.

Oh and watching Mongolia and Afghanistan get a medal was also cool.

Matthias Steiner

Benjamin Boukpeti taking the bronze for Togo- it should have been more, but you can't begrudge him

The coxless four final was a superb race: "THE BRITISH ARE COMING! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!", felt sorry for Australia but even if they'd held on it would have been brilliant.

The team sprint victory, the first GB gold on the track, because I was concerned they wouldn't live up to the hype but as soon as that happened I knew it would be okay. Or better than okay.

The sculler twins from NZ taking the final by 100th of a second.

Kirsty Coventry single-handedly octupling Zimbabwe's medal count- eight medals in history, seven of them to her. Brian Dzingai was another highlight, finishing fourth in the 200m after the two DSQs.

Add Steve Hookers gold in the Pole Vault to the list, awesome win under pressure.

Matthew Mitcham takes the cake, deadset most amazing performance imo.
