Fun HTML5 website to explore! 

Guardian staff: From Super Saturday, to cycling dominance and glory all around, our writers sum up the best moments of the Olympics...

Brilliant two weeks, lets keep the vibe going!

This glorious festival hasn’t changed us, but it has shown just what we’re capable of, says Boris Johnson...

Round up and pat on the back for London2012 from Boris Johnson

So we know how to throw a party, and we've had a confidence boost thanks to our top athletes (who have done us proud!) ... now time to deal with the bigger issue; producing value!

Instagram is going for gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Athletes are sharing behind-the-scenes photos that take their followers inside the Games like never before. Fans are posting shots from a wide range of Olympics venues, giving a piece of the experience to others not lucky enough to be in London. Media members are sharing candid pictures too, in addition to their more typical news-gathering duties.

And they’re all ‘Gramming in record numbers. So far, more than 65,000 publicly viewable Instagram photos have been shared from the Olympics, according to the social media tracking tool VenueSeen. More than 25,000 of those have used the #olympics hashtag, and more 10,000 have used #london2012. Olympic Stadium is the venue people have shared from most, followed by the Aquatics Centre and Basketball Arena.

We sifted through VenueSeen’s Olympics Pinterest board to find 12 of the very best shots posted by fans, athletes and media so far.

Among our picks: a breathtaking setting for beach volleyball, fans who take wearing their national pride to a whole new level, some delicious treats, and candid shots of superstars Usain Bolt and Natalie Coughlin.

But Instagram is just one of many social networks affecting the 2012 Olympics in unprecedented ways. The International Olympic Committee launched an athletes’ hub this spring to connect fans with official social profiles of past and current Olympians. The London 2012 organizing committee has used Twitter to share awesome, unexpected shots of competitive events. And two British athletes — diver Tom Daley and weightlifter Zoe Smith — have publicly outed Twitter trolls in dramatic fashion.

Closing ceremony, here it is! 

Mo Farah wins his second gold of London 2012, adding the men's 5,000m to the 10,000m title he won in the Olympic Stadium last week.

Well done Mo! Am-mo-zing!

I always find these sorts of medal tables amusing: be it biggest moaner, best groper or biggest sponsorship own goals theres plenty of here to make you a smirk!

Amid all the talk of Great Britain's gold rush, it's been easy to overlook the fierce battle going on at the top of the Olympic medals table. The United States...

USA argue quality over quantity when it talking of the medal count but the Chinese are closing in on the US's gold medals...

Russia has the potential to turn around London 2012 after a disappointing opening 12 days to the Olympics.

Will Russia make it to third place ahead of the TeamGB to put them in the same position as the medal table in 2008 Beijing Olympics

Tour de France and Olympic time-trial champion Bradley Wiggins accepts fellow British star Mark Cavendish may have to leave Team Sky.

No real shock as the two are both on each others turf, if Cav wants to retire in 3 years with the highest number of TdF he'd do best to look elsewhere. 

Les Jeux olympiques d'été de Londres sont terminés. L'heure est au bilan.

Round up of Olympics from France; Cocorico ou pas? 

Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich beats Kenyans Abel Kirui and Wilson Kipsang to win the Olympic men's marathon in London.

Beautiful smile for a beautiful Uganda win! Kenyans Kipsang and Kirui  thought the medal was theirs but Kiprotich managed to sail past them to take gold. 

The United States put aside the frustration of Beijing in 2008 to push China into second in the medals table...

US back on top: did we ever really doubt them for a minute? 

"Ben Ainslie has been chosen to carry the flag for the British team at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games."

So many worthy British Olympians after London2012 but Ben is a worthy choice. He's Britain's greatest ever sailor and this looks to be his last Olympics. Not only that... he's Cornish ;-)

Renaud Lavillenie of France sets a new Olympic men's pole vault record as he wins gold after an enthralling competition.

Lavillenie is on top of the world... pole vault world that is! Well done that man! Third pole vault Olympic gold in French history. 

"David Rudisha becomes the first athlete to set a new world record on the track at London 2012 as he wins 800m gold."

What a gentleman Rudisha is! Nice guy, top performance, this man will go down in history for his performance last night... even if Bolt did steel his limelight!

"Dujardin, who started riding at the age of two, wins Olympic gold on Valegro in the freestyle dressage competition..."

Brilliant headline for a superb TeamGB equestrian win!
