Ana Maria Covrig

Created using the same design concept as the Olympic Torch, with both Torches aiming to illustrate equality, the differing characters of Olympic and Paralympic athletes are claimed to be revealed.

The Paralympic version has “sinous curves” to represent the highs and lows in the life of a Paralympic athlete, acknowledging an athlete's determination and achievements throughout various stages of their lives.

Additionally, the quadrangular shape is stated as referring to the four Paralympic values – courage, determination, inspiration and equality - which are written in braille on the torch.

“The Paralympic Games are an opportunity for education and legacy and the torch radiates these values,” said Andrew Parsons, President of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB) and vice-president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).

“The Paralympic Games are the biggest event in the world for producing changes in society.


Chelles & Hayashi created the recycled aluminium torch for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The design expands vertically when it comes into contact with the flame to reveal a series of coloured resin sections.
Presented during a ceremony in Brasília Olympic torch wihas be passed between 12,000 torchbearers.

Its horizontal segments, once open, reveal the sky, mountains, sea and the ground, represented by the promenade of Copacabana,.
Each torch weighs between 1 and 1.5 kilograms, measuring 63.5 centimetres high when contracted and 69 centimetres when expanded.
