Here's the related story: " Solar City Tower ", built atop the island of Cotonduba , will be the welcome symbol to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro .
It will be seen by the game visitors and participants as
they arrive by air or water.
The tower, captures solar energy. It will supply energy
for all of the Olympic city, as well as also for part of Rio .
It pumps up water from the ocean to create what
appears like a water fall and this fall stimulates turbines
that produce energy during the night.
It will also hold the Olympic flame.
The Tower possesses an amphitheater, an auditorium, a cafeteria and boutiques. Elevators lead to various observatories.
It also has a retractable platform for the practice of bungee jumping.
At the summit is an observation point to appreciate the scenery of the land and ocean, as well as the water fall.
Solar City Tower will be the point of reference for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro .

How amazing is that story? A symbol, of course, but much more than a symbol...a landmark, beautiful and natural, that will power the Olympics and part of RIo. It will be a true milestone for the Games...an event that will look back on Rio/2016 as an evolution into a sustainable world of athletics.
We will have lots more pictures for you this week. In the meantime start saving for your trip to see, feel, experience an Olympic moment of transformation.
