As sports fans we are blessed with a plethora of amazing events throughout the year, but nothing quite compares to the Olympics.
The 2016 Games kick off in Rio on Friday.
With the 31st Olympiad upon us, Twitter has been awash with athlete arrivals this week…
It’s not just athletes competing at the Olympics who are taking in the beauty of Brazil. NASA are taking their own, breathtaking snaps of Rio.

Several of the WTA’s best players have gone through hell to make it to the Olympic Games… but they’ve arrived safely and can now prepare with a clear mind.
