At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australian athlete Jane Saville was about to win the gold when she was disqualified for excessive infractions. A reporter asked her if she wanted anything. "A gun to shoot myself," she replied The sport dates back to an amateur practice that emerged in England during the 19th century called "pedestrianism," which was essentially just competitive walking 8. According to an 1876 issue of The New York Times two practitioners of pedestrianism trekked 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours in one particularly heated race Race walking debuted at the 1904 Olympics as one of the ten sports of the decathlon The women's competition didn't debut until the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona The sport was brought to Brazil in 1937 by José Carlos Daudt and Tulio de Rose who had learned about race walking in the previous year's Games in Berlin Brazil has six athletes competing across all three events at the Rio games this year 13. But Brazil still doesn't have any Olympic medals in race walking America has only taken home two medals in the event They were both won by Larry Young at the 1968 and 1972 games Athletes from the now defunct Soviet Union have won the most race walking events at the Olympics If you can't see the signup box above, just go here to sign up Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon The best of Time Out straight to your inbox We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

This uniquely beautiful neomanueline-style library instantly transports visitors to another era. The endless bookshelves, massive chandelier, and colorful stained-glass ceiling create a magical atmosphere reminiscent of Harry Potter movies. Alexandre Macieira/RioTurThere is no one in Brazil who doesn't know the Theatro Municipal. This little piece of the "Belle Époque," inaugurated in 1909 right in the heart of downtown, captivates with its imposing, elegant, and tasteful architecture, meticulously maintained in every detail. The decoration was signed by the renowned Eliseu Visconti, Rodolfo Amoedo, and the Bernardelli brothers, while European artisans were recruited to create the stained glass and mosaics. With every step taken in Brazil's premier performance venue, a new detail catches your eye. Many great international artists and the most prominent Brazilian names in dance, music, and opera have graced its stage. In the 1930s, the theater began to feature its own artistic ensembles: the Symphony Orchestra, Choir, and Ballet, which continue to be responsible for the official artistic seasons. The programming is vibrant, and there is an option to take a guided tour of the facilities, from Wednesday to Saturday, for just R$ 20 (those who bring 1kg of non-perishable food pay half-price). You might even be lucky enough to catch a rehearsal up close.

RioTurBuilt in the late 1950s by Sérgio Bernardes for the International Exhibition of Industry and Commerce during the Juscelino Kubitschek era, this pavilion now serves as the Centro Luiz Gonzaga de Tradições Nordestinas, celebrating Northeastern culture and commerce.
