I thought that too, but of course nothing wrong with that, credit where credits due and all that.

It was just as prominent in 2016.
Having seen a lot of the Athletics on Eurosport the Athletes sometimes only thank the Lottery on the BBC and not on Eurosport.

Hazel has just signed off from her final live coverage slot with a thank you to everyone before handing over to Gabby, though she will be commentating the Closing Ceremony tomorrow (isn't it with Andrew Cotter again?)

Wales Today's lunchtime bulletin extended to feature a Mark Drakeford press conference on COVID restrictions and BBC Two moving to Bargain Hunt as scheduled on network. Surprised the press conference is not at 17:15 like one was the week before the Olympics - it would solve this problem.
Wales Today finished late at 13:03, played an Oympics sting and then a trailer for The Hundred (why waste time???) before CA and then crashing into the 5000m 2:45 in without intro (at least they cut that).
This is the version available on iPlayer.

Jason Mohammad gets his 15 minutes back that the athletics took past 1500 yesterday starting at 1447.

He's really suited the afternoon show format.

I would assume that Today at the Games in 2024 will be in the late night post news slot since the live coverage will be all day and in primetime,

I think Jason's 'best of the rest' format would probably work pretty well around that time slot of 11pm-2am. Though I'm not sure where Today At The Games would fit in, maybe they'd do the highlights, and then Jason with the rest

I think it'll have to be the shorter highlights format post-news for Paris, just as it was for London. They may do an "Extra" style show afterwards for something in a bit more detail, but that would be after midnight.
Personally much prefer the format of the afternoon show where they basically approach things as if they were happening now rather than the Today at the Games format which is more short snippets with packages and interviews. I think they could have probably sacrificed The One Show for the fortnight to give the evening show two hours and find a happy compromise between the two.

I do hope that in 2024 the BBC will make both the BBC1 and Red Button streams available in UHD/HDR. I think it was said in discussions much earlier in this thread that the BBC had judged the necessary satellite bandwidth too expensive but that shouldn't be a problem with Paris.
Tokyo Olympics 2020 on BBC and Eurosport - UTVLifer - 07-08-2021
There was a nice montage at the end of the final Olympics Extra tonight. I'm slightly surprised they aren't doing one last programme (maybe just a 30 minute one) tomorrow given there is still stuff going on tonight into early tomorrow morning.
But I assume that Review will round everything up before the Closing Ceremony tomorrow at 11am

Bizarre?!

Canada does it as well. Someone said it dates back to an old AP style guide.
