As much as i adored Athens ( best ever for me), i wouldnt want brazilians to imitate it because their culture is very different.

They are not crystal clear, so it's a scandal

So far, only the australians have complained about the olympic village. Every host city had operational problems before the opening ceremony. Have we forgotten London buses who lost their way, thelost keys to Wembley etc.? Let's give Brazilians a break, at least for now...

Russian Doping Scandal = BIG Olympic Threat
LOUIS replied to zekekelso's topic in General Olympics Discussion

However, crucially, the IOC has raised the bar on Russian entry by deciding that “the absence of a positive national anti-doping test cannot be considered sufficient by the IFs”. Instead, individual federations will be required to “carry out an individual analysis of each athlete’s anti-doping record, taking into account only reliable adequate international -

LOUIS replied to zekekelso's topic in General Olympics Discussion
Did any of you read the IOC decision? Every single russian athlete lost the right to the presumption of innocence and has to prove himself clean based on specific criteria>>> Am i wrong? -
