It is not just the venues, they have completely dropped the ball on even basic services like sanitation, source water supply, and transportation. The whole thing is marred in corruption and mismanagement, and it seems to be touching just about every aspect of hosting an Olympics.
Literally, athletes from around the globe will end up going home with health complications, diseases, viruses, sicknesses, what have you.
We will be talking about this for a very long time, and I suspect the IOC will be forced into new rounds of due diligence and contractual controls going forward. Brazil will end up embarrassed over this.
yep I think they continue to do water testing on the rio there are untold millions of bacteria from the raw
sewage that has been dumped into the water.
the city promised to build like 5 or 6 cleaning stations but only 1 is built.
there is no way that they can clean the river up in time.
during the test run one of the boaters caught MRSA.
even the water way out of the rio is so contaminated it isn't funny.
what I want to know is where are all the eco-nuts at on this.
honestly I don't see how they can hold any water games in Rio.
I wouldn't even trust the swimming pools.
this bike path issue is just one step in a larger problem.
if this is the type of construction then all the venue's are at risk of collapse.
what should happen is that if a city wants to host the Olympics then a designated
team of construction companies are selected by the Olympic committee a head of the process.
it seems what has happened is a lot of political corruption with construction contracts going to
family friends and businesses.
they are taking huge short cuts to pocket the money and this is the result.
