| One minute Victor Javier was rapt in a carefree game of beach soccer; the next he was a hapless victim of Rio de Janeiro's "shock of order" crackdown.
Two city guards in crisp uniforms marched across the sands and ordered Javier and his friend to stop their game, a "keep-up" between several players that is much loved by Rio beach-goers.
"It's ridiculous. No one's here, it's a public beach," said Javier, wearing swimming trunks and gesturing at the near-empty section of beach on a recent afternoon.
