After two weeks of world records, green diving pools, head-first dives for gold, and one massive scandal that had absolutely nothing to do with sports, the Rio Olympics have finally come to a close.

There were more great stories than we could keep track of over the past two weeks.

One of the best parts of the Olympics, though, was the photography.

The photos from every sport were terrific, and they captured the emotion, energy, and athleticism of the Games. That Rio is one of the most photogenic cities in the world helped, too.

Below are some of our favorite photos from the Olympics. This is by no means an exhaustive list — there were simply too many terrific shots to choose from. We picked our 75 favorite.

Enjoy!
