Pin collecting is an essential part of any Games for many enthusiasts, with the Icelandic pins said to be "highly sought after". 

One of the pins features the IOC logo with the words "Rio 2016" underneath, with the second simply featuring the governing body's emblem.

The pins have been handed out to volunteers in Rio to "reward them for their good work".

Iceland has a pin enthusiast of their own in the Olympic city, with gymnastics coach Vladimir Antonov building up a big collection.

The European country took eight athletes to Rio, including gymnast Irina Sazonova, who previously represented Russia.

She came 40th in the women's all-around competition.

Icelandic athletes also competed in athletics, judo and swimming. 

Eygló Ósk Gústafsdóttir made the final of the women's 200 metres backstroke after clocking a national record of 2min 08.84sec in her semi-final.

She then came last in the final won by Maya DiRado of the United States.

There was also a final appearance for Hrafnhildur Lúthersdóttir in the women's 100m breaststroke.

She finished sixth as Lilly King won the gold medal for the US.
