2012 Russian Olympian swimmer Evgeny Korotyshkin was chilling in Rio, helping to support his countrymen when he decided to take a break and walk around town. Specifically, he was headed to Bar Astor, near Ipanema Beach. Next thing Evgeny knows, these two kids carrying serious firearms came out of nowhere and mugged him.
This is a photo of those two kids. One wearing a hat covering his face and carrying an absurd semi-automatic scope rifle, and the other rocking a mean-looking pistol and covering his face with a t-shirt. I have absolutely no idea how he got robbed and managed to take this photo, but in the Instagram post below he says that they emptied his pockets but left him unharmed. Maybe he asked if he could take a photo of the two of them to post to the ‘Gram before they took his phone? IDK.

These freaking kids look like something straight out of City of God, one of the coolest movies ever until you realize that it’s entirely real… at which point it becomes pretty depressing.
