Tom and Vinicius Video Episode #1
Tom and Vinicus appears to be Rio's representative mascot. I have no idea who is who but I am going to go ahead and say that Tom is the cat creature and Vinicus is the tree creature. In the video it shows both characters created by lights formed by energy which seemed to rub off the crowd at the Rio Olympic parade. As they are created they see the light form and catches their attention. They soon try to capture the light and end up face to face with eachother at the top of the hill. They soon make peace and jump off the hill.

Hi Luisa,
I have done a little bit of research and I can confirm that Tom is the blue cat-like creature and Vinicius is the yellow, tree-like creature. Apparently Tom is supposed to represent the Brazilian rainforest and he is the primary mascot for the Paralympics while Vinicius represents Brazilian wildlife and is the primary mascot for the Olympic games.

Cheers, Rachel :)
