    OFFICIAL SUPPORTER Rio 2016 Cisco Athlete Ambassadors Introducing: Rio 2016 Cisco Athlete Ambassadors Cisco, a proud supporter of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, is partnering with some of Brazil’s most talented athletes on the road to Rio. As the official network equipment and specialized hardware services provider for the Games, we’ll be demonstrating all the ways we’re connecting more people to the Games and more Brazilians to technology. Our athlete ambassadors will share their stories on their road to Rio—all while educating people along the way about the power that sport and technology have in transforming and making lasting connections. Like, follow, and ask our ambassadors questions as they train and prepare for Rio. “We always joke that the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch is a world record holder because it’s been in more Olympics than any athlete. Since Sydney 2000, at least. That’s sixteen years. People trust it.” — Leonardo Ferreira, Cisco Systems Engineer Marcus Vinicius D’Almeida Hometown: Age: Sport: Rio de Janeiro, RJ 17 Archery Technology you can’t live without: Favorite pretraining meal: A good breakfast of milk, bread, My mobile phone cheese, eggs, and ham Born in Rio, Marcus moved at the age of 12 to Maricá, a small seaside city where the Brazilian Archery Confederation has its headquarters. Referenced by the World Archery Federation (FITA) as a “rising star,” Marcus had an almost-perfect year in 2014—getting silver in the Youth Olympic Games, reaching the World Cup Finals, and being nominated as one of the five top archers of the world.
