Day 4 at the 2016 Maria Lenk Trophy, Brazil’s primary National Championship meet, saw the Olympic roster grow to a minimum of 28 swimmers, with still two days of competition remaining. For day 4’s photo vault, as the country’s favorite events, the men’s sprint, begin in Rio, we’ve focused on Satiro Sodre’s pictures of the dives.
