Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand (during the Volleyball medal presentation).

Finally, the Olympics are upon us. It’s a very exciting time and there is most definitely a buzz in the air. People all across the world are contemplating whether they could get good enough at a sport in 4 years to compete at the next Olympics. Personally, I start my first speed walking class tomorrow and I am buzzing.

One of my favourite parts of any big event is the photography that emerges. It’s a prime opportunity to create some memes, and as we all know, memes are life.

Here’s 12 of our best memes from Rio (so far).
