VOLUNTEERS
Over 2,40,000 applications for volunteering in the Rio Summer 2016 Olympics were received. The volunteers wore yellow polo t-shirts and jackets, white socks, & green trainers. However, during the course of the events many volunteers withdrew due to the long working hours with only one free meal being offered.
EMBLEM
The official emblem of Rio Summer Olympics 2016 was designed by an agency Tatíl Design. The design was known to be the first 3D logo in the history of Olympics. The logo represents three figures joined at their arms and feet, with the overall shape reflecting that of Sugarloaf Mountain.
MASCOT
The official name of the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics was called Vinicius. It was named Vinicius to give tribute to the Brazilian musician Vinicius de Moraes. It represents the diversity of the Brazilian people and their mixed culture. The creator of the mascot was Birdo Produções. The names of the mascots were determined by a public vote whose results were announced on 14 December 2014.
MEDALS
Medals were made by the Brazil government Mint company Casa da Moeda do Brasil. The silver and Bronze were made using 30 percent recycled materials. The gold medals were made from the extraction through the mining. Bearing a design that celebrates the relationship between the strengths of Olympic heroes and the forces of nature, they were accompanied by a wooden carrying box, while medalists also received a trophy of the Games’ emblem.
TORCH RELAY
The Olympic flame was lighted at Greece on April 21, 2016 which marks the start of the Olympic event. On April 27, the Torch was handed over to the hosts Brazil. Initially there were 450 participants during the inauguration of the Torch Relay flame lighting. Before coming to Brazil the caravan made a stop at the IOC headquarters at Switzerland. Then the official Brazil journey started on 3rd May that covered more than 300 Brazilian cities with the last part held in the city of Rio de Janeiro lighting the cauldron during the 2016 Summer Olympics opening ceremony on 5 August.
