Mascots of the 2016 Rio Olympics

Today in one year the Olympic Games 2016 in Rio de Janeiro will have begun. Like every sports event, they have their own mascots. These were presented in 2014 and are called "Tom" and "Vinicius", because of the Brazilian poets Tom Jobin and Vinicius Morais.

They started a marketing campaign, in which they offer plush toys of the mascots, to increase their name awareness. Increasing your name awareness is even necessary for sports events as big as the Olympics, to have as many as possible spectators in the stadiums and on TV.
