• Oriovaldo Resende received a warm ovation as he carried the torch around his town. "My mission in life has been to work with kids through sport. This recognition is wonderful."

  • The Olympic torch visited the church of Santo Antônio, one of the most iconic sights among the cobbled streets of the old centre of Tiradentes.

  • The Congado de Tiradentes group, which celebrates slave saint Anastacia in its music and dance, helped welcome the torch to their town.

  • The people of Tiradentes waited alongside the platform for the Maria Fumaça steam train to arrive carrying the Rio 2016 Olympic Torch.
