Anderly Zargiski, Miss Eco Brazil International, was among the Olympic torchbearers in Itapeva.

Kenneth Frost, who was born in the United States, showed off a few samba steps as he carried the Olympic Torch in Itapeva.

Despite losing his sight, former footballer José dos Santos did not give up on sport, and today he plays for his town's goalball team.

Laerte de Barros, 81, was the first torchbearer in Itapeva. He has been a football, basketball and athletics coach in the town. "My whole life has been dedicated to sport," he said.
