Jonathan Edwards presents the final day's coverage from Olympic Park as the inaugural Invictus Games come to a close. After four days of action USA and Britain are expected to be fighting hard to come out on top of the medal table. And with more than twenty medals on offer at the Olympic Aquatic centre, the swimming is sure to be crucial in deciding who does end up as the leading nation at the Invictus Games.

Mike Goody is sure to be a popular figure at the pool. The former senior aircraftman was injured in Afghanistan in 2008 but has used sport as a central part of his rehabilitation. He became the first amputee paramedic in the UK but has combined his job with his training and has high hopes of winning a medal on the final day.

The final of the wheelchair basketball will see USA as hot favourites. Many of their team have competed against each other in previous events as part of the individual US services teams, but the Invictus Games is the first time they have combined and so they will be very hard to beat.

The sitting volleyball reaches the knockout stages in The Copperbox Arena and the GB team expect to be in serious contention for gold. Earlier in the summer they won some notable victories at a warm up event in Texas. Captain Tony Harris is typical of the athletes taking part in Invictus Games. He served in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan, before being wounded in an explosion in 2009. Since then he has had between 20 and 30 operations but has not let that stop him from climbing 900 metre high peak Pen y Fan in Wales, taking part in the Dakar Rally and now representing Great Britain at Invictus Games.
