The event, organized by hotels and waiters’ unions, had the professionals running with a loaded tray, combining speed with focus and balance. Rio’s South Zone Sub-Mayor Flavio Valle said the competition was a chance to show off the city's spirit. “It’s a very interesting event for the city from a tourism point of view, we have the waiters at Rio’s hotels and beach kiosks and bring them to this fun competition, showing a bit of the ‘carioca’ (demonym for things related to Rio) soul.” The contest is usually held in August for Waiter’s Day on the 11th, but Friday’s edition was an additional event to mark the beginning of summer in Rio, a busy tourist season in the city and highly anticipated by hotels and restaurants.
