Brazil is a country known for many reasons, and one of them is the love of competition. Brazilians love sports, and they also like to stay fit and healthy. As such, Rio de Janeiro is a city that accommodates this need in its own way. Rio de Janeiro is all about the street and beach life, and the sports scene is no different. Many of the sports mentioned here are enjoyed spontaneously outdoors, although indoor competition in poker and martial arts thrive, too.
