It's the final day of the Rio 2016 Olympics, and while the highlight of today will be the closing ceremony in the Olympic Stadium, before that there are 12 gold medals to be decided.
Team USA are hot favorites for the men's basketball final, despite complaints in the US media that this is the country's weakest Olympic team since Athens 2004, where the US only managed a bronze medal.
Another of the final day highlights is the men's marathon. Kenyan runners are likely to dominate, but the USA's Galen Rupp could claim a medal. Team GB will be represented by Scottish brothers Derek and Callum Hawkins, and Eritrean-born Tsegai Tewelde.
It promises to be a fantastic final day of Olympic action, and to make sure you don't miss any of the excitement from Rio, including the closing ceremony, we've compiled the ultimate guide to how to watch the Games on your TV, smartphone or tablet…

In Australia, Channel 7 will broadcast 1,000 hours free-to-air on its 7, 7two and 7mate TV channels, and provide online live broadcasts and catch-up. However, if you want access to Channel 7's 36 live streams from Rio, that means getting the PLUS7 app, which is reported to be charging for access during the games.

The BBC is getting in on the act by launching the BBC Sport 360 service to coincide with the Rio Olympics. It goes live on Friday August 5, and will broadcast live 360 video footage every day, with a daily 360 video highlights roundup as well.
You can view the 360 degree Olympic footage using a dedicated BBC Sport 360 app, which is available for Android, iOS and Samsung Gear VR.

How to get the best viewing experience for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Of course, many of us won't be able to make it to Rio de Janeiro to watch the 2016 Olympic Games live, but that doesn't mean we have to put up with a sub-par viewing experience.
If you're considering buying a new TV for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games the Hisense 65XT910 is a great choice – it's a 65-inch 4K TV that uses proprietary Hisense ULED 2.0 technology for vibrant high-contrast images, along with HDR, 3D and Smart TV technology.
While there won't be 4K broadcasts of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, upscaled HD footage will look amazing – and getting a 4K TV now means you'll be future-proofed for the next Olympic Games and beyond.
If you're on more of a budget, and don't need such a big TV, then the Hisense LTDN40K321WTS 40-inch 4K Smart TV is a great option for £299 (around $430, AU$580); and if you drop 4K for 1080p then you can get a Samsung T32E310 32-inch LED TV for just £199 (around $290, AU$390).

How to get the best audio experience for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
The sound of the crowds cheering on the athletes as world records tumble is one of the most exciting parts of the Olympics – and if you're planning to get fully immersed in the Rio 2016 Games you won't want to rely on the tinny speakers of your TV.
If you want the absolute top sound quality – and you have a budget that can accommodate the asking price – then the Monitor Audio R90HT1 5.1 speaker package (£1,499, around $2,170, AU$2,915) is well worth the investment, with surround sound capabilities that will help you to feel like you're inside the stadium, watching the Games live.
If space – and budget – are more of a concern then a soundbar is a great choice, offering great sound quality and virtual surround sound without the nuisance of speaker wires trailing everywhere. The Denon HEOS HomeCinema soundbar and sub-woofer is well worth considering – and its HEOS multi-room technology enables you to connect multiple soundbars throughout your house to play music, making it a great choice for after-game parties.
