Olympic team goes hunting for the hunters

1
___ It is the world’s largest rainforest and is home to about 400 Indian tribes. They went to
search for young people with amazing sporting skills to take part in the 2016 Olympics in Rio
and to represent Brazil.
They found twelve young people who were impressive kayakers, and others who had fantastic
skills with a bow and arrow. One of these was a quiet teenager called Jardel Kambeba, from
the Kambeba tribe. 2___ Normally he hunts tropical river fish or birds that fly up to a hundred
metres high in the sky. Sometimes he hunts and kills crocodiles. The Olympic team from
Brazil wanted to turn these traditional jungle skills into sporting skills.
Jardel comes from a village called Tres Unidos, where he lives with sixty other Amazonian
Indians. The village is ninety minutes by boat from Manaus, the capital of Brazil’s Amazon
region, and is in the very centre of the rainforest. The summers are hot and dry and the
winters are wet and tropical. The villagers live close to the Rio Negro, which together with Rio
Solimões forms the Amazon River. 3___
Everyone who was chosen to take part moved to Manaus to train for the Games in Rio de
Janeiro. For many of the teenagers, going to Manaus was the first time they had ever left their
4
communities. ___ Up until now, they had only ever trained on the local beach back at home.
Now they are preparing for the Games with high-tech Olympic facilities. They have to train
from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and then from 4 p.m. until sunset. The teenagers are excited about
5
representing Brazil at the Olympic Games. ___

A The teenagers had to change schools and have had to adapt to a very different way of life.
B But most importantly, they want to make their tribes back in the rainforest proud of them.
C In 2013 a team of Brazilian sports people went to the Amazon rainforest.
D His name in his native language means ‘bird hunter’.
