"Goosebumps" was the way ex-volleyball player and silver medallist at the 1984 Los Angeles Games Antônio Carlos "Badalhoca" Ribeiro described the moment in which he caried the Olympic torch in Resende, this Thursday (28 July).

Biologist Marcelo Szpilman is a fish and shark specialist. The director of the Rio Marine Aquarium, which will open its doors until the end of the year, ran with the Olympic torch in Resende representing the movement of environmental conservation.

Carrying the Olympic torch represented a new emotional experience for Arnaldo César Coelho. Umpire at Montreal 1976 and Seoul 1988, today he is a commentator and he ran with the torch in Resende in southern Rio de Janeiro state.
