ATHENS, GA (August 8, 2016) - Scores of talented photographers are covering the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to see all of the great work. In addition to visiting the many news sites covering the games, you can get a peek at some of their work through their Instagram accounts.
You can follow the most popular hashtags for the games, #rio2016 and #olympics, but those searches can be crowded with bad frames grabs from television or tons of selfies. To see the work of the pros, start with these accounts:
