BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Rio Olympics will not have multiple cauldrons, but the single cauldron could be moved during the Games, Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada said Tuesday.
The medal design has been approved by the International Olympic Committee but will not be unveiled until there are fewer than 100 days until the Aug. 5 Opening Ceremony, Andrada said.
The Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be held in the Maracanã Stadium, which will also host soccer matches during the Games but not track and field.
Traditionally, the ceremonies stadium also holds track and field, making the cauldron visible at competition for the Olympics’ marquee sport.
