Good morning, Ayshah here with your morning Newsround.

0:00:110:00:15

And the Rio Olypmics went out with a bang last night.

0:00:150:00:17

The closing ceremony was a huge Carnival-style party

0:00:170:00:19

as the offical Olympic baton was handed over to Toyko,

0:00:190:00:22

who will host the 2020 Games.

0:00:220:00:24

The ceremony marked the end of the most successful Olympics

0:00:260:00:29

for Team GB in more than 100 years.

0:00:290:00:31

Great Britain ended the games above China with 27 gold medals.

0:00:310:00:34

Ricky has been out there for the whole championship

0:00:340:00:37

and he's sent us this amazing Rio round-up.

0:00:370:00:42

For the last four years,

0:00:420:00:44

thousands of athletes have put their everything into the Olympics.

0:00:440:00:48

They have trained day and night to try and be the best

0:00:480:00:51

they could possibly be, and to fulfil their dreams.

0:00:510:00:54

All their hard work has finally paid offer for Team GB.

0:00:540:00:58

Here in Rio, they did not just bring on the great, they smashed it.

0:00:580:01:06

Hello, Newsround!

0:01:070:01:13

It all started right here, behind me, at the aquatic stadium.

0:01:130:01:16

That is where 19-year-old Adam Peaty got the first gold for Team GB.

0:01:160:01:20

And it started a little bit of a gold rush.

0:01:200:01:25

Jazz Carlin not only had the best name here at the Olympics,

0:01:250:01:30

she has now got two silver medals swinging around her neck.

0:01:300:01:33

Tom and Dan cemented their relationship by claiming bronze,

0:01:330:01:38

but bigger things were to come.

0:01:380:01:40

A historic gold for Chris Mears and Jack Laugher for the diving,

0:01:400:01:43

which is just over there.

0:01:430:01:47

Here they go.

0:01:490:01:50

Yes!

0:01:500:01:51

Come on!

0:01:510:01:52

That is an Olympic medal for sure.

0:01:520:01:55

Team USA's Simone Biles became the star of Rio,

0:01:550:01:58

but our gymnasts did us proud too -

0:01:580:02:00

Max Whitlock bringing home two gold medals.

0:02:000:02:05

11 medals in the velodrome, six of them gold.

0:02:050:02:10

Laura Trott led the way, winning her fourth gold.

0:02:100:02:13

She's now Britain's most successful female Olympian.

0:02:130:02:16

And Bradley's gold made him the proud owner

0:02:160:02:18

of the most Olympic medals for Team GB.

0:02:180:02:23

Murray mania here at Rio's centre court,

0:02:230:02:25

as Andy Murray went on to defend his title.

0:02:250:02:29

Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold medallist.

0:02:290:02:34

What would you say has been the best thing about the Olympics in Rio?

0:02:340:02:38

I think the atmosphere, and everyone is friendly and helping.

0:02:380:02:42

I think they've been really good, especially Team GB -

0:02:420:02:45

we have outdone ourselves as a nation.

0:02:450:02:46

We have done very well.

0:02:460:02:48

I like the cycling and the athletics.

0:02:480:02:49

Well done, Team GB, you are the best.

0:02:490:02:56

In athletics, the fastest man on earth, Usain Bolt,

0:02:560:02:58

did not disappoint.

0:02:580:03:02

Mo Farah got the double double, winning two more golds.

0:03:020:03:07

The smiliest boxer on earth, Nicola Adams, defended her title.

0:03:070:03:11

Yep, you got it, another gold!

0:03:110:03:15

Was winning all these medals the only highlight

0:03:150:03:17

for these athletes?

0:03:170:03:20

Obviously, the best thing about being here is talking

0:03:200:03:22

to Newsround, right?

0:03:220:03:24

Absolutely.

0:03:240:03:25

This is a show that I have been watching since I was a little boy,

0:03:250:03:29

so being on Newsround is huge for me.

0:03:290:03:31

I have made it!

0:03:310:03:33

Everyone back at home watching Newsround,

0:03:330:03:35

thank you for your support.

0:03:350:03:35

From the women's hockey team.

0:03:350:03:37

Thank you for your support.

0:03:370:03:40

Hello to everyone watching at home.

0:03:400:03:41

Thank you for all of your support, it has been fabulous.

0:03:410:03:44

We have had an amazing time.

0:03:440:03:45

Getting these medals has been fantastic.

0:03:450:03:47

Thank you for your support.

0:03:470:03:51

We have had so much fun bringing you all of the top news

0:03:510:03:54

from the Olympics.

0:03:540:03:55

We've done it!

0:03:550:03:56

Are you recording?

0:03:560:03:58

Even though it feels like it is way off in the distance,

0:03:580:04:01

in four years, we get to do this all again

0:04:010:04:03

at the Tokyo Games, 2020.

0:04:030:04:11

One of the biggest stars of the GB team in Rio

0:04:110:04:14

has been the super-smiley boxer, Nicola Adams.

0:04:140:04:17

And Ricky managed to grab a chat with her.

0:04:170:04:20

I'm feeling absolutely over the moon.

0:04:200:04:21

I can't believe it,

0:04:210:04:23

I've been able to become a double Olympic champion.

0:04:230:04:27

#DoingTheMost.

0:04:270:04:28

Love it!

0:04:280:04:33

And that smile has not left your face yet.

0:04:330:04:35

What's the mood like amongst the whole of the Team GB athletes?

0:04:350:04:38

Because we've got a record-breaking medal haul - this is fantastic.

0:04:380:04:40

Yeah, everybody's really happy around the village.

0:04:400:04:42

The team can't believe what we're achieving.

0:04:420:04:44

We started off with a little sheet with the medal tally on,

0:04:440:04:48

and now we've got three or four going across the wall.

0:04:480:04:51

That reception when you get back to the UK,

0:04:510:04:53

what do you think it's going to be like?

0:04:530:04:55

I think it's going to be amazing,

0:04:550:04:57

especially from my hometown in Leeds.

0:04:570:04:59

I know they can't wait to see me.

0:04:590:05:01

I've had so much support from Leeds and Yorkshire,

0:05:010:05:03

so I'd just like to say thank you to everybody.

0:05:030:05:06

And he's been one of the true legends of these Games,

0:05:060:05:09

Mr Treble Treble, Usain Bolt.

0:05:090:05:10

So what could turn his hand to next?

0:05:100:05:12

How about the javelin?

0:05:120:05:13

This footage was filmed at the end of the athletics

0:05:130:05:15

in Rio's Olympic stadium on Saturday night.

0:05:150:05:17

The world's fastest man picked up a javelin once all the spectators

0:05:170:05:20

had gone home and asked volunteers to applaud him.

0:05:200:05:23

He managed to throw it 56 metres - a distance

0:05:230:05:27

that would have put him last in the women's javelin final.

0:05:270:05:32

And we want to know what your Olympic highlight was.

0:05:320:05:35

Go online and tell what's inspired you over the Rio Games -

0:05:350:05:38

Magnificent Mo, Powerful Peaty, or the Sensational Cyclists.

0:05:380:05:45

That's all from me and the team this morning.

0:05:450:05:48

Leah is here at 4:20pm this afternoon.
