Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic velodrome has been damaged following a fire, which required about 80 firefighters and 20 fire trucks to bring under control.
The state’s military fire department says no one was hurt and there was no risk of the fire spreading to other parts of the complex.
The velodrome was built for the 2016 Rio Olympics and is administered by the city’s government.
