baron-pierreIV Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Brazilian surfer Carlos Burle holding the Olympic torch as it visits Porto de Galinhas on the way to the Rio Games. Why, if he set out now for Tokyo 2020 like that, he would probably reach Tokyo just in time for the surfing competition there on July 28, 2020!

Who accompanies since May , must have noticed the difference between the relay now in the Northeast and Minas Gerais and Brasilia . Oh , in the second half of this month Torch arrives in the South also very different from other regions. Our country is very diverse , I hope the organizers to explore the diversity at the opening on August 5 . About the protests in the relay , this is real . But minority . In Brazil there is a great feeling against Rousseff and Temer with great indifference . As the Olympic atmosphere is only coming now , advertising on TV Globo, Band TV Record and TV stations that transmit the event.Hello , citizens of the world . The translator this helping me .

Belém, Pará Normally I hate vertical-format videos, but this one works surprisingly well, turning the torch procession into something like the Athens 2004 Klepsydra display!
