Colombia’s Mariana Pajón competes for the lead with American rider Alise Post in the first women’s semi-final at a colourful Olympic BMX Centre in Deodoro. Post eventually finished second to Pajón with Venezuela’s Stefany Hernández crossing the line in third. Incredibly, the trio finished in the same order in the final, as the Colombian cyclist retained the title she won in London four years earlier. Photo: IOC / John HuetSNAPSHOT19/08/2016CYCLING BMX
