The torch to be used at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has been unveiled by her President, Dilma Rousseff.
Each torch is made of recycled aluminium and resin and weighs between 1kg and 1.5kg.
12,000 people would be chosen to carry the Olympic torch through some 300 Brazilian cities.
The torch relay will begin in the Brazilian capital in May and will end at Rio's Maracana stadium in August, at the Olympic's opening ceremony, where the Olympic flame will be lit up.
The Olympics organising committee and sponsors will choose the torchbearers in the next few months.
