Sir Mo Farah, anyone? Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Dame Laura Trott?
It wasn't quite London 2012, but Super Saturday at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro still lived up to its billing from a British perspective. The stars we wanted to perform all did, adding to Team GB's medal haul, which continues to grow with each day in Rio.
Come the end of Day 8, Great Britain had swelled their tally to 30 medals, made up of 10 golds, 13 silvers and 7 bronze. That's one more than at the same stage in 2012.
There were disappointments, notably long jumper Greg Rutherford only managing a bronze medal and not the gold he won he four years ago in London.
