Christmas came early this year in Rio de Janeiro. The crowd on Copacabana Beach went Carnival when Rio won the bid to host the 2016 Olympics. The WHT was at the heart of party central, dancing the samba in a confetti shower, and smoozing with some of Brazil’s heavy hitters, Ultimate Fighting Heavyweight Champion ‘Minotauro’ literally being a really heavy hitter. My nephews will be thrilled.
