Senna tribute wins
Print Edition
RIO on Wednesday elected the Unidos da Tijuca samba school as its Carnival champions, a 40-strong jury crowning a program which paid homage to late Brazilian Formula One racer Ayrton Senna.
The champions chose speed as their theme for their Monday parade, in which their 3,600-strong troupe honored the memory of national idol Senna, killed in a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix 20 years ago.
Unidos da Tijuca also paid tribute to Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt, featuring a runner dressed in Jamaican kit during a parade which wowed 72,000 spectators at a packed Sambadrome.
The elite dance school, whose routine featured a Formula One car and mini race track, just pipped nearest rivals Salgueiro by one tenth of a point to land an impressive third title in the past five years.
