It's been a monumental 10 days, ground-breaking in fact. And how they pulled it off I just don't know. With 2,500 athletes in one hotel, the after party turned into one of the biggest Jew-dos of all time.
I almost had the shirt pulled off my back at the closing ceremony of the European Maccabi Games in Berlin. They just didn't want to go home.
There has been a tremendous camaraderie around the city and the locals seemed genuinely interested, unlike at the Maccabiah. Junior athletes were picking the brains of Masters, including Danny Schweiger and Pete Lazard, who between them have accumulated 27 international Maccabi Games.
It was a real team effort as well, regardless of the result. Athletes turned up in their droves to support their team-mates, and it certainly helped in the case of the Open Futsal teams who raised their game to new levels against Australia.
It looked for all the world that the Aussies were going to win gold, but for once, it was the GB boys who came good. All this after watching the U18 Football team have first place clawed away from them by a typically resilient German team.
Three futsal golds out of four is nothing to be sniffed at. Over the years GB futsal squads have been made up of the players who some believe were not quite good enough for 11-a-side, but the current crop are the real deal and had many coming away thinking futsal is the new football. After all it's what players such as Messi grew up on.
I was impressed by Adam Ellis who was calmness personified after the gut-wrenching penalty shoot-out defeat against Germany, while another who took my eye was Dovi Fehler of the Open Football team.
He has made an incredible journey in Jewish football since shooting to fame a couple of seasons ago with Boca Jewniors before a big move to Hendon United. But not even he would've thought he would get a telling off from Germany
international Thomas Hitzlsperger for not playing in Fredi Bobic quick enough in an Allstars match.
My goal of the Games goes to keeper Josh Tray who sent a dramatic bullet of a shot from one end to the other and then enjoyed a sensational celebration.
The event has been a real success for many families for many different reasons. Like me, the Rands, Barnetts and Lustigmans will all go home with memories of a lifetime and with their own tales to tell, ones they won't forget in a hurry.
