I had the honor to take part in the Paralympic torch relay in Brasília yesterday. I was the last runner, responsible for lighting up the cauldron before the flame was virtually sent to Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian media has reported the event both in video and text. Thanks a lot to the organizers and Wilson Dias (Agência Brasil) for the beautiful picture below. And good luck to all athletes who will compete in Rio!

For those attending the games, don’t miss the opportunity to meet us at [Cybathlon at House of Switzerland Brazil 2016](http://www.swissnexbrazil.org/event/cybathlon-house-of-switzerland-brazil-2016/.
