    It is in Dutch, but that is the easy part :-)

    ‘Ranomi challenges you! The first exercise in the starting sequence to start better. This challenge has everything to do with balance and control on and from the starting block. The starting position is quite a challenge, but if you can make a good block and flight phase from this position, this certainly helps you to control your start. Get started with this exercise and remember control is the key to success here!’

    According to the Jornal Noroeste, Rio 2016 is now around R$420 million (£87 million/$113 million/€99 million) in debt.

    The number marks a steep increase since the figure released in December 2016, which stood at R$120 million (£25 million/$32 million/€28 million).
