the best competition is held every four years. This year, we are once again incredibly inspired by the Olympic athletes. The Olympic champion comes from all walks of life and economic background. Both the young and the old competed, including a 58 year old gold medalist. There are a lot of legends who end their careers in a high pitch (Phelps, bolt and Farah, we're looking at you). Others are just getting started and have already achieved outstanding results, such as Simon Bierce, Katie ledgie and Clarissa shields. Here is the ultimate "dig in" moment for the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. The credit: Jean katuf / Getty Images sport / Getty Images

1. Michael Phelps won his 28th Olympic medal. Most people think that Phelps' 5th Olympic Games will be the greatest swimmer's polite victory circle ever. At the age of 31, however, the father, who became a father for the first time, added four gold and one silver medals, bringing his career to a total of 28 medals, 23 of which were gold. He is the captain of the American swimming team, happy and nervous. (the latter led to Phelps' face, which is the best memory of Rio in pre match death gaze, tied with bolt) but the most impressive statistic is that according to the North Baltimore water club, Phelps carried out 8535 miles of swimming training for the Olympic Games. It's roughly the same as swimming from Miami to London and back.

correlation: Michael Phelps continues to break Olympic records. In most Olympic events, older Olympians take the spotlight and you retire at the age of 30. But this year, Anthony Owen became the oldest swimmer at the age of 35, winning two gold medals. Nick Skelton, 58, shocked the equestrian world by winning gold in the individual vault, while Phillip Dutton, 52, of the United States, won bronze in another equestrian event. Santiago Lange, a 54 year old lung cancer survivor from Argentina, won a gold medal in the mixed multi-body crew competition. At the age of 41, Uzbekistan's Aksana Chusovitina became the oldest woman in the women's gymnastics competition, a sport dominated by teenagers. What does this mean for the future Olympic Games? Well, by the time of the Tokyo Olympics, Michael Phelps will be the same age as Owen this year.

related: Brazil won gold in two men's team events in the best 15 fitspo moments in the summer of 2016, and the host country was painted with an unpleasant color before the Olympic Games. Therefore, when Brazilian football star Neymar scored his team's first goal in a duel with Germany, which wiped the bottom of the crossbeam, and he scored the golden goal, people's reaction was far beyond the level of relief. It was an explosive and joyous celebration: not only was it the first Olympic gold medal in Brazilian football - Brazil's national sport - but they beat the same German team that beat them at the world cup two years ago. The next day, the Brazilian men's team won the gold medal in the team volleyball match, and the positive energy burst out.

4. Even before the Olympics, Simone Bierce dominated women's gymnastics, and we know that the 19-year-old Houston man is a great gymnast raised by her grandfather and wife. After Rio de Janeiro, she won three individual gold medals and led the U.S. team to team gold, and we now know that she is the greatest gymnast of all time. But almost as impressive as her performance in vault and on the floor is her posture in vault. Bierce has never lost her composure - not on the podium, not in NBC when her star fan Zac Efron congratulated her, or when she carried the flag to lead America to the closing ceremony, she was the first female gymnast to win such an award - and it could be the shortest. Zach Efron is super cute. Hamblin and dagosteno are examples of the Olympic spirit. Doing your best doesn't always mean first place. In the women's 5000 meter race, New Zealand's Nicky Hamblin clashed with Agostino monastery in the United States, and both fell on the track, which is very clear. Dagosteno helps Hamblin stand up, and Hamblin stays with dagosteno until she can get help when she learns that she is a more seriously injured runner. These women, who were strangers before the incident, are now forever connected. The display of sports spirit and Olympic spirit is moving and rewarded: they won the medal of Coubertin, a sports spirit medal awarded only 17 times in the history of the Olympic Games.

6. Usain Bolt dazzles the audience. The question of this year's Olympic Games is not whether Usain Bolt of Jamaica will defend his gold medal, but whether he will use the gorgeous clothes he knows well. He answered that question with an old meme. At the moment when he won the first place in the 100 meter race, he grinned and turned to the photographers. This moment will never be forgotten. This is the first of his three consecutive Titles: three gold medals in three events in three Olympic Games. But what makes it so unforgettable is his happy selfie and fans' embrace. He is not only the fastest runner in the world, but also you are the happiest.

7. As far as the long-distance runners are concerned (both figuratively and literally), the double doubles of murfara, a British player, are impressive, largely because of the way he does it. Farah won gold medals in the 5000 meter and 10000 meter races in London, but lost in the 10000 meter race this year, but he suddenly appeared, somehow, successfully defeated Paul tanui of Kenya. " "It's the dream of every athlete," said the 33 year old, who became the first in two Olympic GamesThe long-distance runner who won two gold medals (yes, he plans to return to Tokyo) said. Van nicke broke Michael Johnson's 400m record, which lasted 17 years before this summer's Olympics. Then, South Africa's wayde van niekerk broke the world record and won the Olympic gold medal in an amazing way. But he owes all the credit to Anna Sofia bota, who is not only his coach and coach, but also his great grandmother. After his amazing feat, van nistelrook, 24, and bota, 74, hugged each other in silence. "There's no need to say anything," she said of the moment. We know our thoughts and achievements in our hearts and minds. Ledkey's impressive swimming world record is one of the most dominant swimmers in this year's Olympics. This is not only the number of medals she won - 4 gold and 1 silver, but also her amazing result of 12 seconds to win the 800 meter freestyle champion, with more than 2 seconds to break their own world record. " "It's like gold for me to pursue her," said Sarah sostrom of Sweden, who lost to ledkey in the 200m. She could have won a gold medal as a teammate, cheering her roommate Simone Manuel when she won the 100m freestyle, becoming the first African American woman to win a gold medal in a personal swimming event.

10. Although some Olympic commentators and news organizations have a lot of "temporary sexism" incidents, women show the world what they are made of. Although the entire American team - men and women alike - has won the most medals, American women have won most (as they did in London four years ago). Of the 121 American medals, women won 61, including 27 out of 46. The "last five" won gold medals in the women's gymnastics team competition. The women's swimming team (led by ledkey) dominated the swimming pool. Allison Felix, a sprinter, won two gold medals and one silver medal, increasing the number of professional medals here to nine. The U.S. team also won women's basketball, rowing and water polo team gold medals. Related to this, random discrimination in Olympic reporting is the worst. Clarsa shields won one after another, but Ali didn't. Freud Mayweather, sweetheart Ray Leonard - those guys didn't do it. No, Clarissa shields, 21, flint, Michigan, medium weight, standing alone. Shields successfully defended her gold medal from London, the first Olympic games including women's boxing. When she won the game, the world hardly noticed. " "My gold medal doesn't mean much to the media or to the boxing world," said sheldes. But I have a good story to tell - I've been through a lot. Her father was in prison and her mother had a drug problem, so she grew up with her aunt and grandmother. Soon, we can get to know her better: Universal Pictures has chosen the movie rights of her life story.
