About me: Twoflower is the optimistic-but-naive tourist. He often runs into danger, being certain that nothing bad will happen to him since he is not involved. He also believes in the fundamental goodness of human nature and that all problems can be resolved, if all parties show good will and cooperate.

Boris will pass the baton on the current mayor of Rio, and that will be that. If the organisers are lucky, he'll do it without even having to speak. :smug:
