Sisters Helen and Silvia Luz have a history with Brazilian basketball and played together at the Sydney 2000 Games winning a bronze medal. This Thursday (21 July), they were together again to carry the Olympic flame in Jundiaí.

Paula is one of the biggest names in Brazilian women's basketball. She won gold at the 1991 Pan American Games in Havana and silver at Atlanta 1996. "I started to play here. Carrying the torch here has a lot of significance for me," she said.
