After two weeks of competition at the Beijing Olympic Games, host China finished atop the gold medal table, having taken 51 in total. Germany grabbed one more bronze medal on Sunday and finished with 41 medals in total, its worst result since reunification.
The final day's highlights included Kenya's Samuel Wanjiru winning the men's marathon. The United States men's basketball squad redeemed their poor 2004 by beating Spain in the championship. The very final medal of the Olympics went to France, whose men's handball squad defeated Iceland in the gold medal game.
