Inside the 2016 Olympic Village: Simone Biles and Tom Daley play up to the camera

Inside the 2016 Olympic Village: Simone Biles and Tom Daley play up to the camera

Simone Biles and the rest of the 'Final Five' have fun in the Olympic Village

Being captured on film in minute, slo-mo, hi-res detail is part of the job for a modern Olympic athlete. The television cameras are rolling when they win, and when they lose. Photographers circle them while they are competing trying to get that iconic image, that moment of joy, that cry of pain. Every movement is captured. So it's heartening to see that the athletes at Rio 2016 are still happy to pose for the camera when they are 'off-duty'.
