Ifs and buts unimportant, but Rhasidat Adeleke's time of 49.28 is the joint fastest time ever to not medal at an Olympics, would have medalled in all previous Olympic 400m finals bar 1996, and would have been a gold-winning time in Athens, Beijing, London and Rio.

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching a Dub, Rhasidat Adeleke, run very fast and win medals for her country this week, we’ve all had that pleasure and what a pleasure. She’s a genuinely lovely person. Why everyone can’t feel that way, I honestly will never know.

That Daley Thompson doc on BBC Two was brilliant. Lots of sports docs fall down by not interviewing enough people or the right people or having enough contemporary footage. This got everything right, even showing these 1988 BBC Olympics graphics, which were glorious.

Gent win the Euro play-offs outright again for the fourth year in a row and qualify for Europe again, by denying the team that edged them out of the title play-offs on the final night. And that is the perfect way to say goodbye.
