The fate of most Olympic facilities is cruel. This was also confirmed by the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where the facilities are crumbling miserably after the withdrawal of athletes, spectators and cameras. The saddest image is shown by the famous Maracana stadium, where the finals of the World Cup were held in 2014, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics took place here last summer. Meanwhile, the Olympic venues in PyeongChang, which will host the 2018 Winter Olympics, are getting their beautiful look.

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.

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!

It embodies both the slogan of Ironman: Anything is Possible (Everything is possible.) and Nike: Unlimited Youth (Eternal Youth).
