More than 1500 photographers covered the Olympic games. One of them was award-winning photographer David Levene, whose images appeared in the Guardian.
David says he was surprised to find the weightlifting incredibly hard to shoot but was in his element beside the pool.
He chats with Colin about what it takes to get that magic shot.
