The majority of athletes at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics who had a knee MRI showed cartilage damage. Patellofemoral compartment cartilage damage was most common and frequently observed in certain sports including volleyball, beach volleyball, and weightlifting. Overuse in these sports can contribute to patellofemoral cartilage damage and subsequent development of anterior knee pain. Cartilage damage was also observed with concomitant meniscal tears and older age.
