totally agree with you !!!!!

h Why should it be? Atlanta only had 3 marks -- like the 2 bus drivers who walked away, the results system which broke down, and the over-commercialization atmospher which was OUTSIDE any of the official venues). Where do I begin with Rio? - Village not ready when athletes were checking in - critical subway line NOT READY - the uncertain domestic political situation - messy attendance of Russian athletes (banned in Athletics; should the rest have been allowed to participate?) - Zika virus causing many athletes and visitors NOT to come - tacky little logo souvenir given the medallists. So cheap. Couldn't even afford flowers. - polluted waters - Athletes and media belongings robbed (even already in the Village) - low ticket sales and EMPTY seats...only to be filled with BOORISH, IGNORANT, DISRESPECTUL crowds... - Volunteers deserting; the remaining ones NOT being fed - "fake" cauldron of not even an ORIGINAL design - major diving pool water snafu - maybe tainted drug tests? - greatly diminished Paralympic schedule - what else DON'T we know about? DO you want me to go on??? And Atlanta had a bomb!!! Well some Atlanta issues: - Coca-Cola Games (Athens, sorry but see you in 2004) - Transport problems (also) "No one wants another Atlanta. The 1996 Games provided a cautionary tale of Olympic travel woes — with bus drivers getting lost, athletes arriving moments before their events and overloaded trains that couldn’t get residents home. It prompted the International Olympic Committee to lay out demands to make sure it didn’t happen again. “Atlanta was an unmitigated transport disaster,” rail expert Christian Wolmar said. “ - Informatic problems This is from wiki but it´s ok: "A report prepared by European Olympic officials after the Games was critical of Atlanta's performance in several key issues, including the level of crowding in the Olympic Village, the quality of available food, the accessibility and convenience of transportation, and the Games' general atmosphere of commercialism.[17] At the closing ceremony, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch said in his closing speech, "Well done, Atlanta" and simply called the Games "most exceptional." This broke precedent for Samaranch, who had traditionally labeled each Games "the best Olympics ever" at each closing ceremony, a practice he resumed at the subsequent Games in Sydney in 2000." Don´t be mad, just open your eyes. Maybe Atlanta Games were not so cool as you believe.

In general , the games were ok ! Before the games we saw a lot of news ( from North american and European newspapers ) about water quality , safety , the inability of Brazil . Well, all with a lot of hype from reality . The opening ceremony was pretty cool and about sports this Games were spectacular . As less positive aspects : empty seats and Lochte novel. Well done Brazil . Vai Brasill!!! In Portugal, we will never forget the support from te brazilian crowd. OBRIGADO!!

better than Atlanta, undoubtedly
