A BRITISH couple have been embarking on a dream honeymoon to Rio, just in time for the games – and they’re certainly making the most of the experience.
Newlyweds Kirsty and Matt Hardman may just be the Team GB super fans of 2016, after taking a selection of amazing selfies throughout the Rio games.
The couple, from Fakenham in Norfolk, started planning an Olympic honeymoon when they got engaged back in 2014.
While many newly-married couples ask for household goods and crockery as wedding gifts, Kirsty and Matt sought help from their loved ones in the shape of donations towards tickets, flights and lodgings.
Kirsty and Matt have been following Team GB around Rio, meeting medallists such as Andy Murray and Jessica Ennis-Hill – and they aren’t done yet.

The couple, who are both PE teachers, are on the hunt for tickets.
“To sum up the experience, it has literally been the trip of a lifetime and the best possible honeymoon we could have ever wished for,” Kirsty told the BBC.
Impressively, the partners have so far been to the opening ceremony, football, rowing, beach volleyball, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, track cycling, swimming, show jumping, BMX, canoe slalom, athletics, volleyball, diving, boxing, and rugby sevens.
“Being in the venue for all of these events was such incredible experiences and it felt great to be part of seeing history in the making,” added Kirsty.
