8:20 a.m.
The Olympic flame has hit Rio's most famous landmark, the Christ the Redeemer statue.
Brazil Olympian Isabel Barroso Salgado was emotional as she stood beneath the 125-foot statue (38 meters, 30 centimeters), holding the torch straight above her head with both arms outstretched.
The volleyball medalist from Brazil then received a blessing as cameras snapped all around.
The iconic wonder is one of many stops for the flame as it travels around Rio de Janeiro at the end of a long relay that began in Greece.
