I think there might be such a thing as procession fatigue. I see fewer people dancing in the stands now, although they still seem to be taking photos like there's no tomorrow. We are seeing stage managers frantically gesturing for the teams to hurry around the track and drummers coming up behind them.

Perhaps another reason for the rush: London's Tube network is closing down in an hour or so.
