Britain’s Prince Harry visited a training centre for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
The 29-year-old royal spent his second day in Brazil yesterday (24.06.14) at a facility where the British Olympics team will complete their athletic training ahead of the 2016 sporting event.
The prince got stuck into activities at The Minas Tennis Club in Belo Horizonte, which boasts a swimming pool, tennis courts and sporting arena.
Harry chatted with Brazilian swimmer Cesar Cielo, who has three Olympic medals to his name, including a gold from the 2008 Beijing Games.
He then put his judo moves to the test in front of all the athletes, played goalie in a soccer match and shot a few baskets during a friendly game of basketball.
The fun-loving royal was also responsible for kicking off a local swimming race by pressing a starter button and was tasked with handing out the medals after the event.
Harry’s sporting achievements were short-lived, however, as he then attended England’s final World Cup group match against Costa Rica at Mineirao Stadium.
The prince looked on glumly as he watched his country’s worst ever World Cup performance since 1958 play out in front of him.
