(9 Mar 2014) After dazzling spectators with their flamboyant carnival parades, Rio de Janeiro's top six samba schools came back to the Sambadrome on Saturday to show off their skills one more time at the Parade of Champions.
Twelve schools take part in the official Carnival samba dancing competition and are ranked according to the quality of their music, dancing, costumes and floats.
The top six are then invited back to participate in the Champions Parade, which takes place on the Saturday night following the Carnival.
Colourful floats and thousands of participants delighted spectators at the sambadrome all night.
Even the rain didn't prevent revellers from coming to show their support for the winning schools.
