A French athlete Yohann Diniz was unfortunate to be racing with an illness on a day when temperatures reached up to 27 degrees. The athlete who is the record holder of the race, collapsed during the Rio Olympic 50km walk after suffering from stomach trouble - only to get back to his feet and finished the race in a creditable 11th place, seeing his Olympic dreams end in such humiliating fashion.
