Aside from many photos of handballists, my path crossed those of a few athletes. Some to say hi, some to get autographs, some just to snatch a photo...
The bronze medal winning Australian Women's Water Polo team (yes, that is an Aussie fan wearing a water polo hat and parka?).
Team GB's David Florence and Richard Hounslow, who won those silvers in the C2 canoeing.
Some admiring Danish fans posing with Jonas Hogh Christensen, silver medal winner in the Finn class sailing. Probably more famous in the UK for being the man who made Ben Ainslie angry. And for that we should thank him, as Ben Ainslie is fit when he's angry ;-)
Team GB's Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger, winners of GOLD in the women's double sculls,
Apparently this lad is Jordan Burroughs, US weightlifting gold medalist. Yeah, I know gold medals are awesome, but me either...!
Lastly, I've got this lad's (indecipherable!) autograph on the back of my staff pass, but I still can't work out who he is. All I know is he's American, based on the tracksuit and the fact that this was outside the NBC Daily Show studio.
Feel free to add a comment if you recognise him!
