The BBC’s magnificent Olympics closing montage had everyone welling up and it’s a proper gold medal winner
If there’s one thing the BBC’s good at – well, the BBC’s good at lots of things, obviously – but if there’s one thing the BBC’s really good at, it’s a closing montage to a big sporting event.
And their farewell to the Paris Olympics on Sunday night was right up there with the very best and had people cheering and crying at the same time.

Gold medal winner? We reckon.
And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.
Oh my, this is perfect- tearful and joyful. #proudofthebbc https://t.co/6aixhlTrUU

Luckily I don’t care about Great Britain.
Because otherwise, watching the BBC montage at the end of #Paris2024 , I would be rolling on the floor in tears.
Bullshit.
I am sobbing on the sofa as the emotional wanker I am.What a majestic piece of art pic.twitter.com/jGg1YBq1Lw

It was great! Hits you right in the feels.
It was Tom saying he could go for 2024 that got me.
Like yes kid! You did that! You did it again! If only younger him could see him now.
And Keely. Best win of the entire games in my book.
Brilliant stuff! Very said it’s over
