Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to describe knee abnormalities and the occurrence of MRI-detected sports-related knee abnormalities by evaluating MRI examinations performed during the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games held in August 2016. CONCLUSION: There were 11,274 athletes at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and 113 of them underwent at least one knee MRI in the Olympic Village. Cartilage abnormalities, followed by meniscal tears and ligament sprains, were the most frequent abnormalities.
