Chris Mears and other Olympians try out their Portuguese

Watch as members of Team GB do their best to master Brazilian Portuguese in preparation for Rio 2016. Attempts at essential phrases such as, ‘Excuse me, can you tell me where the sports stadium is?’ and ‘Can you teach me to Samba?’ lead us to conclude it’s a good thing they’re champion athletes.

By playing The National Lottery, no-one has done more than you to support our Olympians. The funding you’ve helped raise supports our 1,300 athletes on their roads to Rio, making you a key part of Team GB.

On Saturday August 27th you’re invited to take part in the nation’s biggest ever sports day. You’re invited to join our homecoming Olympic heroes and say ‘I Am Team GB’.

Brought to you by The National Lottery and ITV, 'I Am Team GB' will feature thousands of fun, free events across the country. To celebrate the support you give Team GB by playing The National Lottery, our Olympians will be there too.
