Arthur Nory Mariano coming to Hong Kong Fashion Walk as Rio Olympics gymnastics hunk promotes World Cup
Rio bronze medallist will meet his fans at Causeway Bay street shopping complex on June 13 as he gets VIP treatment during his Hong Kong stay
Brazilian gymnast heartthrob Arthur Nory Mariano is set to make his first starry appearance in Hong Kong with Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay bracing for a considerable turnout.
Ever since the 24-year-old won bronze in the floor exercise at the Rio Olympics, his popularity has soared worldwide with more than 1.5 million followers on his Instagram account.
Mariano, who is part Japanese, will arrive in Hong Kong on June 12 and appear at Fashion Walk the following day to help promote the trendy area as well as the World Cup.
In Rio two years ago, Mariano became an overnight star with his charm, boyish good looks and million-dollar smile – complete with his athleticism – winning millions of fans at the Games.
Organisers will roll out the red carpet for the Brazilian who will have his own security team, limousine, gym, assistant and flat arranged for him. He will kick off “Fashion Walk King of Sports” an event that aims at promoting sportsmanship through a series of activities to celebrate the World Cup and the Asian Games in Jakarta this summer.
