CRI听力:Rio Olympic Rings Unveilled in Madureira Park
A set of large Olympic rings was inaugurated in a Park in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.
The four-tone structure, measuring 82 feet by 12 meters, was donated by the United Kingdom.
Nawal El Moutawakel, head of the International Olympic Committee's evaluation commission, says the rings represent the values of the Olympics.
"These Olympic Rings represent friendship, represent unity, solidarity and these are the true values of our Olympic movement. So may these Olympic Rings shine here tonight and forever."
Crowds gathered to watch fireworks exploding above the symbolic Rings.
Mayor of Rio de Janeiro Eduardo Paes says next year's Games will have an impact in his city for years to come.
"We wanted to make sure we brought these (rings) here to make it clear that the Olympics in Rio have only one objective: it is made by the people, for the people, and because of the people of our city. These Olympics will be marked in history for having left the most legacies, the most benefits."
The 2016 Olympic Games will officially start on August 5 next year.
