The Olympic Mascot Represents All Things Rio

Home to the 2016 Olympics, Rio de Janeiro is known for its lively people and colorful celebrations. In fact, the entire country of Brazil is known for its rich natural environment and diversity. It makes sense then that Rio's Olympic mascot reflects Brazil's colorful culture.

This year's Olympic mascot is named Vinicius, and it's a creature designed to represent all of Brazil's native animals. Its multi-colored arms and legs seem reminiscent of the country's tropical birds, while its cat-like facial features are more representative of the Amazon rainforest's big felines. A lizard-like tail completes the design. According to the Olympic organizing committee's website, Vinicius was "born out of the explosion of joy that happened when they announced that Rio would host the Olympic Games."

The name Vinicius evokes another important part of Brazilian culture. This year's Olympic mascot is named after Vinicius de Moraes, a Brazilian poet and lyricist who wrote lyrics for many a bossa nova song. Bossa nova remains one of the best-known genres of Brazilian music worldwide. Through name and design, Vinicius reflects the mark that the Brazilian culture and environment have left on the world — an important reminder ahead of the long-awaited Rio Olympics.

Each Olympics has an equally symbolic mascot, usually represented throughout the Olympic facilities and ceremonies. In the 2014 Sochi Olympics, a trio of mascots — the hare, the polar bear, and the leopard — represented the three places on the Olympic podium. Four years ago, the London Olympics featured a one-eyed mascot named Wenlock, designed to honor a British town that helped to inspire the modern Olympic Games.

This year, Vinicius is complemented by Tom, the official mascot for the Rio Paralympic Games. Whereas Vinicius represents all Brazilian animals, Tom represents all Brazilian plants. He's equally colorful and festive as his wildlife counterpart.

Vinicius and Tom have already started making appearances around Rio. Vinicius will likely play a role in the Opening Ceremony, scheduled to air on NBC on Friday night. His design fits in well with the rest of the Olympic paraphernalia we've seen so far, including volunteer uniforms and logos.

Vinicius' Olympic bio says that he likes to meet people from around the world. He's probably already started getting that opportunity, as athletes and teams from various countries have begun arriving in Rio to prepare for the Games. If the mascot is any indication, this year's Games should be as lively and celebratory as Brazil's culture.

2. He wrote the play Orfeu da Conceição, which set the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice in a modern-day Rio Carnival. The play, in turn, was made into the Oscar-winning film Black Orpheus, whose soundtrack included “Manhã de Carnaval” and “A Felicidade,” the former written by de Moraes and Tom Jobim.

With a mischievous smile, Johansson covered the deck of cards with a cloth and tapped it gently. As she lifted the cloth, Fallon's chosen card had disappeared from the deck completely. Fallon, puzzled and bewildered, could hardly contain his astonishment. Johansson, reveling in the moment, unveiled the story behind her newfound love for magic. She explained how learning such tricks had helped her master the art of misdirection, allowing her to portray complex characters with an added layer of intrigue. Magicians, she noted, share a common ground with actors in that both craft illusions that captivate and suspend reality. Fallon, completely enthralled by Johansson's trick and her passion for magic, praised her incredible skills and confessed his genuine surprise. The actress beamed with delight, grateful for the opportunity to share her passion with the world. Scarlett Johansson's appearance on "The Tonight Show" not only showcased her talent as an actress but also unveiled her hidden magical abilities. Her enchanting trick left Jimmy Fallon in awe and served as a reminder of the power of illusion and the thrill it brings to both performers and audiences alike..
