  1. Hold on. The IOC President himself has said in the past week the water quality could be an issue if the organisers don't act. Not saying there aren't silly stories from time to time about host cities but this sure ain't one.

    If English tabloids keeping going to North Guanabara Bay to take pictures and say: this is the place sailing competition will take place, yes, that's bad media.

    The Guardian just did that and presented a study from a very unknown Brazilian university with no methodology to prove their point.

    Bad media. Period.

    This said, Rio OCOG already admitted the bay sewage treatment will reach 80% by 2016 and ecobarriers and other costy short-period solutions will be used to guarantee fair water conditions during the games.

    What Brazilian media say is: the games might be okay and there won't be any legacy on finally cleaning the bay.

    That's the fact.

  2. After a day off I was able to reflect on my experience with the games. I was very priviliged to work with the organization and this opened my eyes to what I want to do moving forward. From meeting great people to just enjoying the world class athletic competitions at the various venues, these were a great Pan American Games. These are no Olympics, but as the Olympic flag was coming down on Sunday I knew Toronto had hit this out of the park and the flag would one day raise again in this city. I am sad it is over, however happy that this event happened. Viva Toronto!

    Congratulations, Intoronto!

  3. Makes much sense that the Globo Group is hooking up and getting involved again with NHK for this 8KTV experiment. The Rio Summer Olympics obviously are a major deal with that kind of treatment following last year's World Cup 2014 and the ever-colorful and massive Rio De Janeiro Carnaval. There's enough experience from Globo to handle this endeavour. It's a safe bet that both ceremonies, some soccer, some volleyball (especially when Brazil is involved in both), gymnastics, swimming, basketball, track and field, diving, synchronized swimming, and maybe some rugby sevens, golf, and handball will get the 8KTV treatment. After all, Globo is Brazil's biggest media conglomerate and is the official Olympic host media partner. Plus Brazil and Japan are really close. Like to know what's the current state of 8KTV in Brazil, both technical and consumer. Still early days, I guess. You would expect the Brazilian 8KTV market will explode next year with more early adaptors when we get closer to the start of the Olympics as Brazilians will start buying more of those sets. Not too many, I imagine, compared to Japan and the USA but growing.

    When Record got the rights to 2016, I realized it, unless it started devising multiple cable TV sports channels like Globo's SporTV or even temporary Olympic channels, it will look limited in its coverage with Record and Record News compared to what Globo will offer already in its stable and experience with its SporTV channels and then some. It's a key reason why Globo has that official Olympic media distinction in this sports-mad nation. And while Record is still an official Brazilian Olympic broadcaster, all it has are Record TV and Record News that are both free to air. Likely it's not interested in that sports expansion; it'll get crowded with what's already existing and the struggle to get tentpole sports broadcast rights will be immense in the Brazilian sports media landscape with SporTV, ESPN, BandSports, FOX Sports Brasil, and Claro Sports and wouldn't last. Globo just took over from there after the Record sublicensing to other Brazilian TV channels. I believe a major reason the bigger rival networks got the rights is access to see and use video footage of the top soccer, volleyball, basketball, swimming and track stars, both Brazilian and foreign, that they wouldn't get otherwise and thus get shut out, restricted to photos. Another thing: assuming the the extra SporTV channels will come on days before the Wednesday and Thursday before the Friday Opening Ceremony, you may have to think they have a Rio 2016 preview show heavily involving Time Brasil and plenty of non-Brazilians, in all the Olympic sports and Olympic-themed documentaries like perhaps a history of Brazil in the Olympics, profile pieces, and news to fill the time programming slots and around the competition with repeat viewings like Australia's FOXTEL did and surely used for on-demand online and mobile?

    I wonder will Viasat Sweden will put field hockey on its Viasat Hockey channel during Rio.

    Once we hit the one-year mark come August 5, we'll get more and greater Olympic coverage details, especially from NBC and CBC, having just done the Pan American Games by then . Do expect very much the same time frame block structure NBC proper will use for the Summer Olympics like in London and Beijing perhaps an expansion of an hour of two with the return of the Olympic Basketball and Soccer Channels on the cable side. Since the USA is not a handball or field hockey power and the sports doesn't carry massive potent domestic mainstream interest here, we won't get to see an Olympic Handball and Field Hockey Channels, though it would be nice to see and further build exposure. The rings will be up as an on-screen TV bug too.

    Hey, as promised, my answer.

    So far Brazil is finishing yet to implement HDTV. Next year analog signal will be cut from the main markets and all SDTV will be cut by 2018.

    There is no schedule for 4K or 8K terrestrial TV to be implemented in Brazil, meanwhile Japan is expected to be 8K in 2020.

    Record is a TV with far less resources than Globo in every sense... London 2012 was poorly covered by them and Sportv, as pay-to-broadscast channel made much better coverage with its 4 or 5 channels. Indeed, Sportv got some international prizes for it, meanwhile, nobody even noticed Record were broadcasting it.

    Record does not have the same coverage area than Globo, nor the same number of affiliates and since 2014 Record was surpassed by SBT and lost the #2 in ratings status. SBT is a shows, series and movies based Television Network with no sports.

    SporTV might start its 16 channels coverage 1 week before the opening ceremony.

    In Brazil only Band and Record uses the Olympic Rings over the logo. Globo never used them.

  4. I think this is Brazil's second best performance ever.

    I still think Brazil will be in the 6 to 8 golds and 24 to 28 medals next year.

    Best was Rio 2007.

    Second best was Guadalajara 2011.

    Toronto 2015 is the third best perfomance.

    Hope you are right.

    I'll read your big post later and give you a proper answer, sorry, I'm at work right now.

    The only promo Globo did for Rio 2016 so far...

  6. I'm going to respectfully disagree with you two and say that I like the animation techniques overlaid on the video footage used for this Record Rio 2016 commercial to connect Time Brasil with Rio De Janeiro and the rest of Brazil (with some humour along the way) since it's not used a lot worldwide in recent times. SporTV/Globo's are nice, focusing on Brazil's Olympians and the Golden Team sportscasters, and will surely see more of them as time goes by. I must wonder that Record aired this as it moves away from its coverage of the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games (hope it likes Toronto, easily one of my favorite cities around!) to focus its building towards the Olympics in their own backyard next year?

    If you're willing to share, I have the feeling that Record TV, Record News, and Bandierantes TV will place emphasis on some of the Olympic sports they can show on TV in the FTA realm rather than others. We know Globo/SporTV will operate the worldwide soccer feeds. Has either two been announced for other sports yet? Maybe we should sit tight until the one-year anniversary mark for future announcements. We haven't got word on their respective programming plans yet, as far as I know. Maybe that'll be included too.

    The athletes part is nice... When the cauldron appears, gosh, what a poor 3D stuff, the cauldron in the Sugar Loaf Mountain is terrible and all the rest...

    Sorry, it's not nice.

    Globo didn't unveil its graphics so far. Nor Sportv.

    Globo will focus in breaking news and volleyball/soccer. Sportv will have 16 channels and the biggest live coverage for Olympic Games in the history.

    Band will show volleyball/soccer/basketball and maybe some handball, some breaking news and not much of other competitions.

    Record: nobody knows. It all depends on what Bishop Macedo will be told by God to broadcast... They are always a big question mark about everything....

  7. Santa Teresa Tram is back to activities...
    About 1,7km of 10,5km were reopened to the population.

    The goal is to get more than half of the line reopened before the Olympic Games.

    The new tram looks like the old vintage one, but uses the technologies that are common in LRT trams.

  8. It's amazing what home advantage does for hosts in multi sport games, Mexico won 42 golds in 2011 and now is below 20. Canada's numbers are really inflated here, much as GB's were in 2012. Next year Brazil should be around 30 medals with 10+ golds I would say.

    Same for Brazil in Rio 2007 PanAms... 52 golds was too many for Brazilian standards...

    How was Argentina in 1995?

  9. Ew... For Japan, home of amazing art, culture, inovation. Home of many of my childhood heroes, cartoons. Home of more than thousand years history, it's pretty disappointing...

    I think it's far worse than London... The colors, the meaning (?), the concept, gosh...

    It makes me remembers some of the non-winners of GB's logo comps... *facepalm*


    A colleague here at graphics department said: "looks like some book publisher logo from the 1970's" - touché!

  10. Brazil and Canada both had a pretty shitty gold medal haul in London, and neither are in a position to rip on the other.

    Can be, anyway, I love the fact how much Brazil Team became relevant to Canadians lately...

    Not provoking and talking seriously... In 1999 PanAms we would never think we would surpass Canada two PanAms in a row or specially in some SOGs.

    If the pace is kept, we will surpass Cuba for the first time since 1967 PanAms - which is big here in Brazil.

  11. I visit this forum once every few months and each time, Danny is there being his whinny oversensitive self :lol:

    And now he's found a pal? Thank god they don't really reprensent the brazilians who'll welcome the world in a year.

    Come back more times, buddy. You'll change your idea.

  12. Yeah, some did, not all, Bairros... And that's not a reason to us to be in the same level of them...

    Haters gonna hate anyway, and as I told before, most of the world loved the World Cup in Brazil... From TV audiences to those who came to work and watch matches.

    Three or four guys (members of a obscure olympic games bidding-related forums in the internet) aren't relevant to measure the global success of the World Cup in Brazil, definitively.


    Why not discuss PanAms in Toronto?

    This thread is NOT about Brazil.
