0:01:36 > 0:01:39an event so big it's called the greatest show on Earth.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Many of the athletes have already travelled to Brazil

0:01:41 > 0:01:44to begin their final preparations so here are my top five

0:01:44 > 0:01:49ones to watch in Rio.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Teenager Amber Hill started shooting when she was just ten.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19and Bianca Walkden is a major star.

0:02:19 > 0:02:26She won World gold in 2015 and wants more success in Rio.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Ellie Downie only stepped up to senior gymnastic competitions

0:02:47 > 0:02:51defending champion Jess Ennis-Hill.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55So all five athletes will be hoping to win big for Team GB and you'll be

0:02:55 > 0:02:58able to catch the best of the action on the Newsround website

0:02:58 > 0:03:01throughout the Olympics.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Now one of the largest ever dinosaur footprints has been found

0:03:03 > 0:03:05in Bolivia in South America.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08It's more than a metre across and is thought to have

0:03:08 > 0:03:13belonged to a type of dinosaur called an Abelisaurus.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Amidst the dry and dusty hills of central Bolivia,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19a remarkable discovery.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Hidden beneath rocks and boulders, a footprint preserved in time.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27A footprint that's thought to be tens of millions of years

0:03:27 > 0:03:33old and much larger than expected.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35TRANSLATION: The abelisaurus were the great carnivores of the end

0:03:35 > 0:03:39of the Cretaceous period in the southern hemisphere.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Footprints this large have never been reported.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Their normal size was around nine metres, large animals,

0:03:45 > 0:03:48however the footprints we found were for an animal that easily

0:03:48 > 0:03:51exceeds ten or even 12 metres.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55The Abelisaurus was similar to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59Both part of the Theropod group of dinosaurs.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Like the T-Rex it's believed to have lived in the late Cretaceous period,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07somewhere around 60 to 80 million years ago.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Whereas its more famous cousin roamed around north America,

0:04:11 > 0:04:14the abelisaurus could be found in south America.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17And it was unlikely to be lonely.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20In this area of Bolivia thousands of footprints have been discovered

0:04:20 > 0:04:25and children are getting the chance to see replica dinosaurs.

0:04:25 > 0:04:3080 million years ago they could have seen the real thing.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34And last up, this might not be millions of years old but it's

0:04:34 > 0:04:35still pretty amazing.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Lava from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii started erupting two

0:04:37 > 0:04:41months ago and has been moving on a six-mile journey

0:04:41 > 0:04:43towards the coast since.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46It's now reached the Pacific Ocean and this stunning video

0:04:46 > 0:04:49shows the hot liquid rock falling off the cliffs.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Officials there say that the lava isn't putting any towns at risk.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54That's all from me.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Bye!
