This year’s Olympic games have had us glued to our TV screens - and it’s not just because team GB is swimming in medals.
Oh no, we’ve been marvelling at some of the jaw-dropping feats of athleticism performed by this year’s Olympians - from Simone Biles’ powerful gymnastics routine to Aisen Chen and Yue Lin’s unfaltering synchronised dive.
It doesn’t matter where they’re from, how old they are or even whether they’re male or female, these people are proving that with the right training and dedication, anyone can be a superhuman.
