# Athletics: The track wasn’t damaged in yesterday’s fire at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which hosted the Games of 2016. Dozens of firefighters converged on the velodrome, which houses the Olympic Museum that features exhibits and artefacts from the Games. No injuries were reported, and the flames didn’t spread to other parts of the complex. The stadium’s roof also caught fire twice in 2017, both incidents being linked to falling sky lanterns.
