Rio Olympics 2016: Team GB dazzle at Olympic closing ceremony as they walk in with light-up trainers then wave them around


TEAM GB lit up the Rio Olympics for two weeks – and then they dazzled at the closing ceremony with their light-up trainers.

The footwear had luminous soles – with each of the British members who attended the ceremony able to wear the treads.

And the Brits were easy to spot across the stadium, with their trainer dazzling during moments when the lights went out in the Maracana.

The footwear was also given a severe test by the weather, as a wet and windy weather front descended across Rio.

But that didn’t seem to bother any of the athletes in the closing ceremony as they partied into the night.
