"Flamengo is the biggest club stand and certainly the best content of the event. We brought our six Olympic medalists, two, three, four every day... The movement never stops, a huge line. Our idols Zico and Junior also came here, and it was a full house the whole time," celebrated Marcus Vinícius Freire, Flamengo's director of Olympic Sports.
