The color scheme has been selected on the basis of the national colors of Brazil: the symbol is in the blue, yellow and green colors. It is worth noting that the choice was not easy. For the attention of judges was represented by about 150 options. Also, special attention was focused on the Olympic mascots. Traditionally, the names chosen for their local residents who expressed their will by voting online. As a result, mascots have been named Vinicius and Tom. They got their names after famous musicians of Brazil. Mascots have views of flora and fauna of Brazil.

OLYMPIC SPORTS At the moment, the Russian national team in various sports won 213 Olympic licenses for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro and another 85 licenses claims in those sports in which license holders are determined by the respective ratings of the Olympic International Sports Federations. This license allows the number of the Russian national team at this time to take part in the draw medals in 205 disciplines of 306 possible. I will support our team in all kinds of sports, but the more attention I will pay to gymnastics and swimming. In my opinion there is could be won the largest number of medals.
