A rainstorm came through Rio on night four of track and field events at the Summer Olympics — and it was a doozy. The downpour was so intense that runners told reporters they couldn't see through the rain, and several discus throwers fouled after their discuses slipped out of their hands. That's when officials decided to pause the competition until the rain let up.

"It's track and field," Haitian hurdler Jeffrey Julmistold USA Today. "Any given day, anything can happen."
