Who Are the Rio 2016 Olympics’ Mascots? What to Know About Vinicius and Tom
If you've been paying attention to the promotional materials for the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, you might have noticed two lovable guys dancing around in celebration of the historic first-ever South American Olympics.
They would be Vinicius and Tom, the official mascots of Rio 2016. Though the two characters might look sweet and simple, their origin story is actually imbued with symbolism about how the Brazilian games came to be, explained via a short cartoon released in Portuguese:
Nearly 325,000 people turned out for a public vote on the mascots way back in 2014, and the end result was overwhelmingly in favor of honoring Brazilian Bossa Nova singers Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim.
"The choice of the names Vinicius and Tom adds even more "Brazilianness" to our mascots, which are ambassadors of the Games. Their role is to share the messages of the event and the values of the Olympic and Paralympic movements to various audiences, especially children and youth," said Beth Lula, Brand Director of Rio 2016.
Vinicius
While the two friends share mascot duties, Vinicius is the official mascot of the Rio 2016 Olympics, while Tom is actually the official sponsor of the Paralympic Games.
According to his website, Vinicius is a "mixture of all the Brazilian animals" who was "born out of the explosion of joy that happened when they announced that Rio would host the Olympic Games, on 2 October 2009."
He loves making new friends from all around the world, but his best friend is Tom. According to the website, his mission is ". to spread joy throughout the world and celebrate the friendship that flourishes between people from all over."
Tom
Since Vinicius is an amalgamation of every Brazilian animal, it makes sense that Tom is a mixture of every plant. On his website, Tom describes himself as a magical creature who uses "creativity, intelligence and determination," to accomplish his goals, important qualities for the mascot of the Paralympic Games.
According to Paralympic.org, the President of the Organising Committee for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Carlos Arthur Nuzman, said that the public did a good job of choosing Vinicius and Tom as their Rio mascots.
"The names of Vinicius and Tom are recognized worldwide as a synonym for excellence, which is in line with what we want to achieve with the Rio 2016 Games. In addition to representing the Brazilian fauna and flora, our mascots also connect to the best of our music. We are certain that they will be an inspiration to the youth," he said.
In addition to the sports facilities, Nascot also focused on enhancing its overall infrastructure. The city upgraded its transportation systems, including the expansion of its metro lines and the development of new highways and expressways. These improvements aimed to provide easy access for athletes, officials, and visitors, ensuring smooth movement throughout the city. Nascot's rich culture and history also played a significant role in the preparations for the Olympics. The city organized various cultural events and exhibitions to showcase its artistic heritage to the world. From traditional dance performances to art displays, Nascot's cultural offerings were on full display, giving visitors a taste of the city's unique identity. Furthermore, Nascot's residents played an integral part in making the Olympics a memorable experience. Volunteers from all walks of life dedicated their time and efforts to welcome athletes and spectators, ensuring their stay in the city was pleasant and enjoyable. Their enthusiastic support and warm hospitality created a vibrant atmosphere that added to the overall success of the games.

I was highly disappointed with Nascot for the 2016 Olympics. First of all, the organization was chaotic. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the large number of athletes and spectators. The facilities were also subpar, with dirty bathrooms and limited seating. Additionally, the food options were limited and overpriced. Overall, my experience at Nascot for the 2016 Olympics was extremely underwhelming and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. John - 1 star
I can honestly say that Nascot for the 2016 Olympics was one of the worst venues I have ever been to. The parking situation was a nightmare, with long lines and limited options. Once inside, it was hard to navigate the confusing layout of the venue. The seats were uncomfortable and provided poor views of the events. The lack of shade made it unbearable to sit there for hours in the scorching heat. To top it off, the food stalls ran out of basic items like water and snacks. I will never go back to Nascot for any future events.
