Welcome to Rio 2016 The Rio 2016 Olympic Games will demonstrate the determination of all Brazilians in delivering the greatest festival on Earth, proudly advancing, through sport, the national mantra of progress. These pages offer a brief introduction to Rio de Janeiro, its Olympic heritage, the city’s plans for the Games and the benefits they will bring to Rio and Brazil. Rio de Janeiro, then and now The former capital of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is located in the state of the same name on the south- eastern strip of the country’s Atlantic coast. It is one of the most visited cities in the southern hemisphere. In January 1502, the second exploratory expedition by the Portuguese, led by Captain Gaspar de Lemos, reached Guanabara Bay. Legend has it that he entered the bay believing it to be a river, so he named it Rio de Janeiro, literally translated as “River of January”.
Rio is a picture-postcard city, with lush green mountains, lakes, blue oceans and miles of white, sandy beaches. It is the home of Sugarloaf Mountain, Maracanã stadium, Guanabara Bay and, overlooking it all, the statue of Christ the Redeemer. It is no wonder Rio is known as the “Marvellous City”. The friendliness of cariocas (as Rio locals are known) can be witnessed in the streets, in the bars and at the beach.
CLIMATE Rio de Janeiro benefits from a mild to warm climate during the winter month of August. Based on statistics from recent years, athletes can expect an average daily high of around 21-22°C (70-72°F) in the Olympic Village. On average, relative humidity ranges from a minimum of approximately 60 per cent to a maximum of approximately 80 per cent. The average monthly rainfall during August is 42 millimetres; the prevailing winds are from the south-west and south-east. The average daylight hours in Rio de Janeiro at Games time (August and September) are from 6.00am to 6.00pm.

The city’s Olympic heritage Brazil is a nation with sport in its blood and has always been a serious competitor in the Olympic Games. Never content with just taking part, the country has long dreamt of hosting the world’s biggest sporting event. Brazil’s first bid came in 1932, to host the 1936 Games, but Rio de Janeiro failed to advance past the International Olympic Committee’s initial selection phase. Sixty years later, Brasília was a candidate for the 2000 Games, until its bid was withdrawn in the first phase. But Brazilian hopes were not dashed, rooted as they were in a deep belief in the value of the Games, and with the certainty that hosting them would boost national development efforts. With firm, unyielding commitment, the groundwork was already being laid on a path that, with each bid, was taking on an ever more clearly defined direction.
Rio de Janeiro’s next attempt was to host the 2004 Olympic Games, but again it did not pass the initial selection phase. The Committee’s General Assembly made a strategic decision to focus on a Rio bid for the 2007 Pan American Games, with a commitment to making it the biggest and best such games ever held. Competitors and managers were determined to work towards ensuring that the cream of Brazilian athletes would compete on home soil, at a truly impressive event in state-of-the-art arenas. At the same time, Rio prepared its bid for the 2012 Games, in which the city was up against stiff competition. Despite the acknowledged quality of its bid, it was eliminated from the Candidate City shortlist.
Rio’s 2004 and 2012 bids were part of an ongoing process in which the city’s positive points were strengthened, and the weaker areas addressed, to provide the structure for the next Olympic bid. In 2007, the organisers of the Pan American Games exceeded all expectations, delivering the best edition in these games’ history. The capacity to stage and promote a major sporting event had been proven, and recognition for all the effort expended did not take long to arrive: on 2 October 2009, after a hard-fought campaign, Rio de Janeiro won the right to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the first to be held on South American soil.

Celebra Celebra, the Rio 2016 culture programme, will consist of a great celebration of Brazilian and international culture, mainly through free events to be held in public spaces, aiming to expand access to culture and incorporate it into day-to-day city life. Besides interactive installations encouraging engagement with the Rio 2016 Games, there will be a strong artistic programme, emphasising proponents of national and international culture.
The Celebra programme will embody Brazilian history and take it to the streets like never before. Access to culture, in the broadest sense, is at the heart of the programme, which is divided into six segments: literature, dance, music, visual arts, performing arts and everyday life. After the Games The Rio 2016 Games will be a catalyst for change in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, leaving a positive transformation and lasting legacy not only in terms of sport, but also for society, the economy, urban infrastructure and environment. More details about Rio 2016’s legacy can be found on the Rio Exchange. AQUATICS OVERVIEW 14 | AQUATICS Explanatory Guide Aquatics overview
Aquatics at the Olympic Games Diving for sport developed from gymnastics in the 18th century, when gymnasts in Sweden and Germany began to perform tumbling routines into water. Diving made its Olympic debut in 1904, where medals were awarded for men in the 10m Platform and the Plunge for Distance (a Diving long jump event, which never again appeared on the Olympic programme). Synchronised Diving made its first Olympic appearance at Sydney in 2000. For details of the Diving competition at Rio 2016, see p18.
Marathon Swimming competitions took place in England as early as 1791, when races would start on piers with athletes jumping into the sea or rivers. This more modern version came back to the Olympic Programme at Beijing 2008, as an event of the Swimming discipline. At Rio 2016, Marathon Swimming will be upgraded to a distinct discipline, and athletes will dispute the 10km event at Copacabana Beach. For details of the Marathon Swimming competition, see p23.
Swimming competitions first emerged untold centuries ago. At the first few modern Olympic Games, Swimming events were held in open water. The rules were formalised in 1908 — the year FINA was founded — when the London Games staged the first Olympic Swimming competition to be held in a pool. For details of the Swimming competition at Rio 2016, see p27.
Synchronised Swimming grew out of the ornamental water ballets of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which became popular in Europe and the USA thanks to pioneers such as Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman and US movie star Esther Williams. The first competitions were held in the 1930s, five decades before the sport made its Olympic debut in 1984. For details of the Synchronised Swimming competition at Rio 2016, see p35.
Water Polo developed during the 19th century as an aquatic version of Rugby, played informally in rivers and lakes. The version of the game that survives today is closer to Handball. This Aquatics discipline has been part of the Olympics since the Paris 1900 Games, becoming the first team sport in the Olympic programme. The women’s event was introduced at Sydney 2000. For details of the Water Polo competition at Rio 2016, see p41.

DIVING 18 | AQUATICS Explanatory Guide Diving
The Diving competition The Diving competition at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will be held at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, from Sunday 7 August to Saturday 20 August 2016. The competition will consist of eight (8) medal events, summarised below:
MEDAL EVENTS
Men (4) Women (4)
3m Springboard 3m Springboard
10m Platform 10m Platform
Synchronised 3m Springboard Synchronised 3m Springboard
Synchronised 10m Platform Synchronised 10m Platform
A total of 136 athletes may take part in the Diving competition. This figure comprises 64 male and 64 female athletes, plus eight (8) places — four (4) men and four (4) women — allocated to the host country. For details on the qualification requirements, see 5p 8. Competition format
INDIVIDUAL EVENTS Each of the four (4) individual events in the Diving competition will consist of three (3) phases: a preliminary phase, a semi-final and a final. Each phase in the men’s individual events will consist of six (6) dives, while each phase in the women’s individual events will consist of five (5) dives. Each athlete’s score for a phase is the sum of all dives performed in that particular phase: no scores are carried over from one phase to the next. There is no limit to the degree of difficulty for all dives in individual events.
The diving order in the preliminary phase of all individual events will be determined by computerised random selection during the Technical Meeting. The 18 athletes with the highest scores in the preliminary phase, including any athletes tied for the last qualifying position, will progress to the semi-final, when athletes will dive in reverse order of the preliminary phase rankings. The 12 divers with the highest scores in the semi-final, including any athletes tied for the last qualifying position, will then progress to the final, when athletes will dive in reverse order of the semi-final rankings.
A panel of seven (7) judges will judge each dive. In the preliminary phase there will be two (2) panels: the first (1st) panel will judge the first three (3) rounds of dives, and the second (2nd) panel will judge the remaining dives. The two (2) highest and the two (2) lowest scores will be discarded, and the scores of the remaining three (3) judges will be added together and then multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give the total score for each dive. Only neutral judges whose countries are not represented in the semi-finals or finals will be allowed to judge in these phases. 19 | AQUATICS Explanatory Guide Diving
SYNCHRONISED EVENTS The synchronised diving competition involves two (2) competitors diving simultaneously from the springboard or platform. Each of the four (4) synchronised events will be run as a final, with a total of eight (8) teams competing in each event. Each men’s synchronised event will consist of six (6) rounds of dives, while each women’s synchronised event will consist of five (5) rounds of dives, with all dives being selected from five (5) different groups. The first two (2) dives will be assigned a degree of difficulty of 2.0, regardless of the dive.
A panel of 11 judges will judge each dive. This panel is split into two (2) groups: three (3) judges will assess execution for one diver and three (3) judges will assess execution for the other diver; therefore the remaining five (5) judges will assess synchronisation. The highest and lowest scores from each group of judges will be discarded, and the scores of the remaining five (5) judges will be added together and then multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give the total score for each dive.

The competition will consist of two (2) medal events, summarised below:
MEDAL EVENTS
Women
Duets
Teams
A total of 104 women athletes may take part of Synchronised Swimming competition. This figure comprises 95 athletes plus nine (9) places allocated to the host country. For details of the qualification requirements, see 5p 8. Competition format
DUETS The Duets event will begin with a preliminary phase, which consists of the technical routine and the free routine preliminary. The draw for both routines will be conducted at the first Team Leaders’ meeting.
The total scores for the preliminary phase will be calculated by adding points scored in the free routine preliminary to the points scored in the technical routine. The 12 duets with the highest total scores in the preliminary phase will progress to the final. If two (2) or more duets are tied for the 12th qualifying place at the end of the preliminary phase, the following FINA tiebreak rules will be used: the higher free routine score of the final result will decide. If they are still the same, the execution score of the free routine determines the position. If they are still the same, the higher technical routine score will decide. If they are still the same, the elements score of the technical routine determines the position.
The final consists of one (1) routine, the free routine final. The 12 qualified duets will be drawn for the free routine final in two (2) groups of six (6). The total scores for the final of the Duets event will be calculated by adding the points scored in the free routine final to the points scored in the technical routine during the preliminary phase.
TEAMS The Teams event consists of a final only, which incorporates the technical routine and the free routine. The draw for the technical routine will be conducted at the first Team Leaders’ meeting; the draw for the free routine will take place after the technical routine, and will see the teams divided into two (2) groups of four (4). The total scores for the Teams event will be calculated by adding the points scored in the technical routine to the points scored in the free routine. 37 | AQUATICS Explanatory Guide Synchronised Swimming
SCORING Three (3) panels of five (5) judges will judge each routine. For the free routines, the first (1st) panel judges execution (30 per cent, considering execution and synchronisation). The second (2nd) panel judges artistic impression (40 per cent, considering choreography, music interpretation and manner of presentation). The third (3rd) panel judges difficulty (30 per cent, considering the difficulty of all movements and synchronisation).
For each panel, the highest and the lowest scores will be discarded, and the scores of the remaining three (3) judges will be used to calculate that panel’s score. The total score for the free routines will be calculated by adding the score for execution, artistic impression and difficulty using the weighting percentages above.
For the technical routines, the first (1st) panel judges execution (30 per cent, considering execution and synchronisation). The second (2nd) panel judges impression (30 per cent, considering difficulty, choreography, music interpretation and manner of presentation). The third (3rd) panel judges elements (40 per cent, considering the execution of each required element with an assigned degree of difficulty).
For the first (1st) and second (2nd) panels, the highest and lowest scores will be discarded, and the scores of the remaining three (3) judges will be used to calculate that panel’s score.
For the third (3rd) panel, the highest and lowest scores for each of the required elements will be discarded, and the remaining three (3) scores will be used to calculate that panel’s score. The total score for the technical routines will be calculated by adding the scores for execution, impression and elements, using the weighting percentages above.

If two (2) teams are tied at the end of the preliminary round, the following tiebreakers will be used, in order: 42 | AQUATICS Explanatory Guide Water Polo
• the result of the game between the tied teams
• the teams’ respective results against the highest-placed team(s) in the group, taking into account goal difference and then goals scored
• the results against the next best-ranked team(s), and so on until all results have been considered
• a penalty shoot-out competition
If three (3) or more teams are tied at the end of the preliminary round, the following tiebreakers will be used, in order (note: if, at any point during these tiebreakers, the number of tied teams is reduced to two (2), then the tiebreakers listed above will be used to break the remaining tie):
• the results of the games between the tied teams, taking into account points, then goal difference, then goals scored
• the teams’ respective results against the highest-placed team(s) in the group, taking into account goal difference and then goals scored
• the results against the next best-ranked team(s), and so on until all results have been considered
• a penalty shoot-out competition

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
A number of public transport options are available to get around in Rio:
• Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT)
• Subway (Metrô Rio)
• Train (Supervia)
• Light Rail Train (LRT)
• Urban bus
Further details on public transport are available in the NOC Visit Guide on the Rio Exchange.
Information regarding the free-of-charge public transport options for accredited individuals will be made available in the Team Leaders’ Guide. Medical services Public health services, including disease surveillance, communicable disease control and health protection (such as food, water and air quality) will be in place throughout Brazil during the Games.
Local hospitals that include 24-hour emergency specialist services and tourist clinics are also available around the city. Local pharmacies can be found in all neighbourhoods, and some are open 24 hours a day.
There are no vaccination requirements for entering Brazil, but NOCs are advised to consult their local physician prior to travelling to Brazil to ensure that all routine vaccinations are up to date.
Malaria and dengue fever Cases of dengue fever and malaria have been documented across all regions of Brazil. Whilst cases of malaria in Rio de Janeiro are extremely rare, other states, such as those in which the football co-host cities of Brasília, Manaus and Belo Horizonte are located, have had a greater prevalence. NOCs are therefore advised to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves against mosquito bites.
Yellow fever The yellow fever vaccine is not a requirement for entry to Brazil. However, in the more remote areas, including the Football co-host cities of Manaus and Brasília, yellow fever has been documented; therefore, it is recommended that NOCs take the necessary precautions.

The Olympic Movement encompasses organisations, athletes and other persons who agree to be guided by the principles of the Olympic Charter. The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practised without discrimination of any kind, in a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.
