It was up to the athletes to make the Games special, and they certainly delivered, with Team GB finishing in fourth place with 65 medals, 22 of which were bronze, alongside 21 silvers and 22 golds.
Meanwhile, it was the United States who topped the medals table ahead of China in second and Japan in third.

Who needs rest?! Pedri joins in Barcelona training just five DAYS after winning Olympic silver with Spain in Tokyo - and could START LaLiga opener this weekend despite having barely a week off and playing 73 games last season
The 18-year-old had to settle for a silver medal as Spain lost their Olympic final, adding even more minutes to the youngster's count in an exhausting year after the showdown went to extra time. Pedri played 4,996 minutes last season and turned out 73 times for club and country in his first campaign for Barca, and there was little time for the midfield maestro to reflect on his marathon of games in the aftermath of Spain's defeat.
Double Olympic champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs will not race again until 2022 because of fatigue... with the Italian sprint star's manager admitting he has 'given so much' and wants to avoid being crocked
When asked by a follower on his Instagram profile when he would compete again, the 26-year-old Italian sprinter replied '2022' - and his manager, Marcello Magnani, has confirmed that plan by explaining that the double Olympic gold medalist has 'given so much this year'.
Jo Konta casts US Open place into doubt as British star withdraws from meeting with Coco Gauff at National Bank Open after missing Wimbledon and the Olympics
The British No 1 was due to face American 15th seed Coco Gauff for a place in the last eight yesterday but pulled out due to a knee injury. Konta had been hoping for a prolonged run at the WTA Tour event after missing both Wimbledon and the Olympics, having been unable to play at the All England Club as a close contact of a Covid positive.
MARTIN SAMUEL: So, the bidders for West Ham are true supporters? Do me a favour... Recruiting the Ferdinand brothers was ill advised and any takeover is destined to be played out in public, with fans manipulated as muscle in attempt to drive price down
MARTIN SAMUEL - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Nasib Nizami Oglu Piriyev of PAI Capital turns out to be a West Ham fan. Of course he does. It was the only thing missing from the takeover package, the punter on the board. No doubt Muhammad bin Salman bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud often walks the streets of Jeddah shouting 'Toon Army'. Funny, mind, that such a loyal Hammer did not realise the Ferdinand brothers, Rio and Anton, were not the most populist figures to recruit to his cause. You would think as a 'passionate supporter of West Ham since 1986', Piriyev would know who the heroes were out east. Maybe he'll give Paul Ince a call next.
British Olympic medal-winning 4x100m sprinter CJ Ujah FAILED a drug test in Tokyo and he and his Team GB colleagues now face being stripped of silver
Great Britain sprinter CJ Ujah (left), part of the men's 4x100m team who won silver (right) at the Tokyo Olympics, has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for an alleged anti-doping breach. Enfield-born Ujah, 27, was part of the British quartet alongside Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake who were beaten on the finish line by Italy. The AIU announced on Thursday that following the conclusion of the Games, the doping control laboratory in Tokyo also notified the International Testing Agency of an additional 'adverse analytical finding' from testing during the Olympics.
Jumping for joy! Team GB gymnast twins Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova, 16, lead the way on GCSE day with distinctions days after bronze medals at Tokyo Olympics - as students across the country score record top grades
The sisters had their first taste of glory at the Games last month, when they teamed up with Alice Kinsella and Amelie Morgan to clinch an improbable team bronze - Great Britain's first podium finish in that event for 93 years. And while the memories of their early success will last a lifetime, today they were back in the shoes of millions of other students as they arrived at school to pick up their results (left and top-right). Thousands of other students (bottom-right and inset) were also celebrating today, with some 30% of entries achieving grades 7 and above - equivalent to A and A* - compared with 27.5% in 2020 and 22% in 2019.
