Rio 2016 is not an event with protests against the interim president Michel Temer, only. Rio 2016 is an event with art and sport celebration too OLYMPIC BOULEVARD - Rio's Port Area Rio’s Olympic Boulevard unveils massive mural celebrating indigenous cultures One of the most impressive works in our recent spotlight on Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant street art scene is a brand new masterpiece by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, who just transformed a whopping 190-meter-long (that’s over 600 feet) wall in Rio’s renovated port district into a celebration of the world’s indigenous cultures. Measuring almost 3,000-square-meters in size, "Ethnicities," (or Etnias, in Portuguese) hopes to secure a Guinness World Record for the largest mural from a single artist. The mural features five colorfully abstracted faces, each representing an indigenous population hailing from the five world continents depicted in the Olympic rings. http://www.curbed.com/2016/8/8/12402118/rio-olympics-mural-kobra BEACH VOLLEYBALL - Copacabana Beach WOMEN'S MARATHON - Around the Museum of Tomorrow WOMEN'S MARATHON - And the SugarLoaf with the cablecar TENIS ARENA - Olympic Park

I would like to know the TOP THREE Stadiums of the World Cup 2014 - which stadium has the best architecture in your point of view? Which is your favourite, second- and your third favourite?

Here they are: (Bold = Existing 5 Star; Normal = I think deserve 5 Star): (These also include Under Construction/Proposed Stadiums). Wembley Stadium, London, England (90,000 Seats). Emirates Stadium, London, England (60,361 Seats). Olympic Stadium, London, England (80,000 Seats (56,000 Seats)). Nou Camp, Barcelona, Spain (100,000 Seats (Will be 106,000 Seats)). Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain (85,000 Seats (Will be 95,000 Seats)). Stadium La Peineta, Madrid, Spain (73,000 Seats). San Mames Stadium, Bilbao, Spain (54,000 Seats).

Donbass Arena, Donetsk, Ukraine (53,000 Seats). These are the Stadiums I believe deserve Highest Rating of UEFA European Stadiums. Of course, others might want to add/remove Stadiums, so feel free to create your own list. I've done my research on this. I believe Highest Rated Stadiums should be 50,000 or Higher Seating Capacity, Unobstructed Views and Modern.

Can anyone think of your favorite Modern Football Stadium?
