Featuredhere is a 2016 Rio Summer Olympics torch used in the flame relay. Thefollowing, referenced from a July 9, 2015 DisegnoDaily.com article, goesinto detail on the design, aesthetics and relay from the Rio Games:

“SãoPaulo-based Chelles & Hayashi designed the 2016 Olympic torch withan introduction of moving components: when the torch is ignited, fivesegments automatically expand vertically to reveal brightly coloredresin sections, each symbolizing a different natural element. The torchis made from two materials: recycled aluminum and resin. It measures63.5 cm when contracted and 69 cm when expanded, and weighs around 1.5lbs. As well as representing the colors of the Brazilian flag, each ofthe resin segments symbolize natural elements native to Brazil. Thesegments start with a deep, dark blue which represents the ‘floor’, itswavy shape inspired by the curvature of Copacabana’s shoreline, and thengraduates to a lighter blue representing the sea, then green forBrazil’s mountains and valleys and, finally, the yellow of the sun. Thetorch features a grip embellished with a triangular pattern to aid thetorchbearers handle during the relay. The triangular design alsorepresents the three professed values of the Olympics: friendship,respect and excellence. The flame will be carried by 12,000 torchbearersthrough 300 towns and cities in Brazil, a journey that lasts 100 daysand culminates on August 5, 2016 at the Olympic opening ceremonies inRio de Janeiro.”

The torch shows obvious use with significant darkening near from the flame opening at the top. Other than that it remains in excellent shape. It comes with its brown carrying bag housed inside its original brown presentation tube branded with the Rio Games emblem. (Note: these boxes aredifficult to close with the spring design of the torch.)
