From North and South Korean athletes posing up for a selfie together after their table tennis showdown-to Team GB’s Tom Daley getting a victory kiss from Noah Williamson-to the photograph dubbed as the most iconic of the Summer Olympics-to Diana, the widow of the late Olympic weightlifter Oleksandr Pielieshenko, who was killed fighting against Russia's invasion, the multi-sport event has created many happy and sad moments.
