Storyline

The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon participated in the Olympic Torch Relay in Rio de Janeiro today (5 Aug), accepting the torch from International Olympics Committee President Thomas Bach.

After running with it for 100 metres, he handed it over to Thaiza Vitória da Silva, who is a 15-year-old handball player. She will be representing the 400 girls currently participating in the 'One Win Leads to Another' joint programme with UN Women and the IOC, which is aimed at promoting sports activities for adolescent girls.

Later today, the Secretary-General is expected to attend the opening ceremonies of the 31st Olympic Games.
