The official illustrated sticker album for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games was launched on 25 May at a star-studded ceremony at the Olympic city's glitzy horse-racing track. The album and stickers will go on sale in Brazil on Friday 3 June.
To complete the 56 pages of the album, collectors will have to hunt down a total of 374 stickers. The majority of the stickers are of Brazilian athletes who will be competing at Rio 2016, plus other Brazilians who made their mark at previous Games, such as swimmer Ricardo Prado, silver medalist at Los Angeles 1984. The Rio 2016 organising committee has produced the album in partnership with Italian publishing group Panini. The publishers expect to sell more than a million copies across Brazil.
