Day 34 - Olympic Torch Bulletin Board
SPECIAL OPERATION ON FERNANDO DE NORONHA
This Sunday, 5 June, the Olympic Flame paid a visit to the archipelagoof Fernando de Noronha
and its celebrated beaches.
·
After flying over the island, theOlympic Flame was greeted on the Suestebeach by a team
of biologists from the Tamar Project. Environmental inspectorGilvanio da Silva, born and raised
on the island, carried the Olympic Torchalong the deserted beach in the company of two couple
of turtles, one green andone hawksbill.
·
"They can survive out of thewater for weeks. They are real combat tanks, and only need
hydrating andprotection from the sun," said biologist Felipe Bortolon. The TamarProject has
already catalogued a thousand green turtles and 573 hawksbill sea turtles in Noronha. The
beachis an important feeding ground for the species, and scientists recentlyobserved turtles
using the locality for breeding.
·
On leaving the Sueste beach, the Olympic Flame headed for the port to board abarge and
visit the island’s dolphin population. Torchbearer ZairaMatheus carried the torch on the prow of
the barge, and was accompanied byover 50 dolphins swimming between the coastal water and
open seas of thesmaller islands in the region.
·
“It is difficult to choosewhat is most beautiful in the seas off Fernando de Noronha. But the
mostspecial moment is when you are diving and the dolphins appear. They swim byyour side,
look into your eyes and seem to be giving you permission to be here.It’s incredible,” said
Gilvanio, a specialist in underwater photography who hasbeen living on the island since 1999.
·
On Cacimbabeach, the Olympic Torch was carried by triathlete and radio broadcaster,
Thania Brito Pessoa Corredora. “It is anenormous privilege to be here today,” she said.
·
Unfortunately the weather conditions ruledout crossing from Cacimba to Sancho beach in a
Hawaiian canoe, butthe Olympic Flame was taken by boat from the Sancho beach, carried by
surfer,Patrick TambergAmarante.
·
“I love Noronha and have a specialrelationship with this place and the people here. I
brought my daughter alongwith me. As someone who loves to work in sport, I am getting a taste
of whatit’s like to be an athlete. This experience is really special,” said TV Globosports reporter
Carol Barcellos, presenter of the Planeta Extremo programme, who carried the Olympic Torch
along thebeach from the fort to Vila do Remédios.
·
“This is a special moment for mebecause my family has been living on Noronha for almost
100 years. My fatherarrived here in 1916, and today is my father’s birthday,” said Luis Eduardo
Nunes,who carried the Olympic Torch along the shortest road link in Brazil, crossing Fernandode
Noronha.
·
Ademir Rogerio, a resident of Noronhafor 28 years, was the last torchbearer of the day. “I
am an athlete, and likeany athlete, when I see the pictures of the Olympic Games on TV, I want
to bethere. Now I am a part of it, representing this island that I love so much,” hesaid, very
moved.
