Rio 2016: Twins Anna and Lisa Hahner - touching moment or just attention seeking?

German twins Anna and Lisa Hahner finished 81st and 82nd in the marathon and would probably have gone unnoticed if they hadn't crossed the finish line holding hands. Instead of the moment going down as one of the most moving of the Rio 2016 Olympics, the Germans became the target of criticism as the move was self-promotional, with the director of the German Athletics Federation, Thomas Kurschilgen, even saying that their performance looked like olympic match one big joke. What is your opinion?

Rio 2016: Julius Yego - the javelin thrower who was taught how to throw by YouTube

The story of Kenyan athlete Julius Yego is truly unusual. Although Kenya has always been considered the land of runners, Julius Yego is not a runner. Julius Yego is a javelin thrower. And not some average one. He came to the Rio Olympics as a favorite. The force came to this title in an unusual way. After being written off by the coaches in high school and realizing he wasn't a good runner, he tried his hand at the javelin. The problem? Where the hell do you get a javelin coach in Kenya and most importantly where do you even get a javelin? Regarding the latter, he has somehow found his way, and he even hired a YouTube channel as a coach! This honed him into one of the best javelin throwers in the world!

The Olympics: Unusual Olympic sports that are no more

So far, 43 different sports have been present in the Olympic program at the Summer Olympics. The current program of the Summer Olympics includes 28 sports with 38 disciplines. In the past, many sports were also present at the Olympic Games, which we will not see at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Such are tug-of-war and hot air ballooning. This year, after more than 100 years, golf returned to the list, and in 2014 the International Olympic Committee removed the restriction that only 28 sports could be represented at the Olympic Games, which was often the main reason that certain sports fell out of the program. The limit is now 10,500 athletes and 310 events, which will apply for the first time at POI Tokyo 2020.

Rio 2016: all different, all equal

Every day, the 2016 Summer Olympics serve up new top achievements, new milestones, new moments of indescribable joy and sadness, and last but not least, new memes. But Rio 2016 will go down in history with something else. It represents a milestone for athletes of the Muslim faith. Some time ago, due to religious and cultural reasons (not least the weather conditions, remember, it was quite cold in London), the International Volleyball Federation adjusted the rules regarding the equipment of the competitors, which opened the door wide open for the Egyptians Doaaji El Ghobashy and Nadi Meawad, who made sure that the "unusual" scenes from the beach volleyball match went to the world. But this is not the only "non-sporting" historical moment from Rio.
