Darren Campbell visits a school inside a favela

Darren Campbell visits a school which lies within a impoverished favela in Rio de Janeiro to discover what the legacy of the 2016 Rio Olympics is going to be.

The former sprint athlete shows the children his gold medal and took part in their P.E. lesson.

"Although these children don't have much, they all have a huge smile," he said.

"They appreciate life, they appreciate what they do have and they appreciated the fact that we'd come to see them."
