Records tumble
High-tech tracks and pools at Rio 2016 helped runners, cyclists and swimmers deliver their best performances, with 65 Olympic and 19 world records being broken.
Hard work and talent combined with technology to produce some truly amazing moments, such as athlete Wayde van Nierkerk’s incredible run in the 400m final, where his time of 43.03 seconds bettered the 17-year-old mark of 43.18 set by US legend Michael Johnson.
