The Olympic Torch sails into in Rio:

The Olympic Torch sails into in Rio--video above published August 3, 2016--A seven-person crew of the Olympic medal-winning Brazilian sailors brought the Olympic Torch into Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 3 August. Brazilian sailing superstars Torben and Lars Grael, Clínio Freitas, Isabel Swan, Nelson Falcão, Marcelo Ferreira and Ronnie Senff sailed from Niteroi, across Guanabara Bay arriving at the naval base just north of Marina da Gloria, venue of the Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition. The evocative journey paid homage to Rio's maritime beginnings and to Brazil's strong tradition in sailing - the sport in which the country has won most Olympic medals. Torben Grael, one of Brazil's most decorated Olympians with five medals handed the torch to Eduardo Paes, Mayor of Rio, as the torch began its journey through Rio de Janeiro in advance of the Opening Ceremony on 5 August.
