BRAZIL RETURN TO ATTACKING ROOTS IN RIO

It has been some time since a forward trident has stirred as much excitement in Brazil as the trio that will spearhead the country’s bid for an elusive Olympic football gold medal in Rio de Janeiro. Neymar and the two Gabriels - Barbosa and Jesus - have provided hope that “jogo bonito” - that mesmerising mix of trickery, skill and goalscoring flair that once characterised Brazilian football - is on the cusp of a comeback. Hortelano took fourth place with a time of 20.18, beating his own previous national record of 20.39, which he set earlier this month at the European Championships in Amsterdam.
