It looks at the new Olympic sports - rugby sevens, kite surfing and golf - and gives some background information about the Olympic and Paralympic Games, their history and traditions. Looking ahead to the games in Rio in 2016, it explores the Olympic village, the venues for the events, and how Brazil is preparing for the arrival of the world's most famous and best-loved sporting event.
