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.

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 next time you think you're too old for something, remember Madonna Buder, the 86-year-old Iron Nun, as she's called, the new face of Nike's ''Unlimited'' (Unlimited Youth) campaign, proving that age is no excuse.

Many athletes like to decorate their enviable body with various tattoos. Even in the Slovenian Olympic team, there are some who wear tattoos.

But those two are far from the only ones we spotted with tattoos at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Many Olympic facilities, which at the height of their popularity (at the time of the Olympic Games) were an architectural masterpiece, today show a shabby image, which is a far cry from the one of years ago, when people crowded there. After the spotlights receded, they became home to stray dogs and cats and weeds. Many former Olympic venues have been cruelly dealt with by fate, and today you will look for the former glory there in vain. Find out below which are these neglected and abandoned Olympic facilities, which are far from the image of their best years.

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.

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.

And the price is also suitable for this - 1200 US dollars! Do you need them? Probably not, but it must be admitted that the world has never seen such sports glasses.

What does Leonardo DiCaprio do when he takes a break from making movies? Enjoying a yacht with the girls and scaring his friends? No! He participates in the Olympic Games. At least that's what many believed, who confused him with American archer Brady Ellison, who recently won a silver medal with his national team in a team competition in Rio. But the seventh-ranked player in the world did not attract attention because of his sporting achievements. Brady, who months ago proposed to the well-known Slovenian archer Toja Černe, closely resembles the famous actor, and many were convinced that DiCaprio was on the American team.
