Carioca Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Olympic Torch-The Beginning Of Planning For The Torch Relay 2/21/2005 The ATHENS 2004 Olympic Torch Relay through Rio de Janeiro was considered the best organized among those held by the 34 cities that took part in the world course. The evaluation was performed by the organizers of the Athens 2004 World Olympic Torch Relay, who were in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, February 21 to present the results to those responsible for the city Task Force. "The decision to elect Rio de Janeiro as having the best Olympic Torch Relay organization makes the citys people the big winner" said licensed president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, Carlos Arthur Nuzman, who personally directed the operation of the Olympic Torch Relay in Rio de Janeiro on June 13 and received the World Relay organizers at a meeting in his home. "This shows that Rio de Janeiro and the local population are prepared to organize the Pan American Games of 2007 and any other international events in an unforgettable way." For Rio de Janeiro Mayor Cesar Maia this was yet another demonstration of Rios strength and organizational capacity. "One of the features of the events that happen in Rio is that, in addition to having the experience to carry them out, the city gives them an international visibility that few places in the world can," said Maia. "I am sure that these factors were fundamental for the positive evaluation of Olympic Torch passage through Rio." On Monday, February 21, Executive Director of the Worldwide Torch Rally, Steve McCarthy, was at the City Palace, headquarters of the City of Rio de Janeiro, where he was welcomed by Municipal Secretary for the Pan American Games, Cláudio Versiani. McCarthy presented Secretary Versiani with a torch which is destined for Mayor Cesar Maia. The main points analyzed by the organizers of the Olympic Torch World Relay were infrastructure, workforce, protection of sponsor brands, effective communication of Olympic values and principally the ability to combine all of these items. "Rio did this better than any other city and her people also showed a lot of heart and soul, which filled the event with emotion," explained McCarthy, adding that the second best evaluation went to the city of Cabo in South Africa. The results presented by McCarthy in Rio were also shown to the International Olympic Committee. There were 1.4 million people in the streets of Rio during the Relay, second only to Beijing with 2 million, but the evaluation of the organizers was that there was much more emotion in Rio. Besides this, the celebration show at Flamengo beach that closed the day was spectacular and considered to be best in the world, according to the evaluation of the Torch Relay organizers. For Carlos Roberto Osório, Secretary-General of the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Torch Relay Task Force, Rio's performance was achieved through collective effort. "This result must be divided with the three levels of government that worked in perfect sync and coordination, in both the planning and operational phases," recalled Osório. The Pan American Torch - Steve McCarthy, in his passage through Rio, also met with the team from the Pan American Games - Rio 2007 Organizing Committee (CO-RIO). The meeting marked the beginning of planning for the Pan American Torch Relay for RIO 2007. The goal of CO-RIO is to finalize the Pan American Torch project by August of this year to present it at the PASO Assembly that will be held in Rio de Janeiro. The Pan American Torch will be ignited on the Chichén Itzá pyramid in Mexico, and its Relay will end at Maracanã Stadium at the Opening Ceremony on July 13, 2007, when the Pan American flame will be lit. Numbers - The passing of the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Torch ran a course of 49 kilometers through the streets of 16 Rio de Janeiro city neighborhoods (Maracanã, Rio Comprido, Center, Lapa, Glória, Catete, Largo do Machado, Botafogo, Jardim Botânico, Lagoa, Gávea, Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana, Urca and Flamengo.) It was the largest logistics operation ever carried out in this country, mobilizing COB and various entities and departments of the three levels of government - municipal, state and federal. The passing of the Olympic Torch Relay in Rio also involved Riotur, the Municipal Guard, CET-Rio, the Government Municipal Department, Comlurb, Rioluz, the Municipal Health Department, the Military Police, the Fire Department, the Civil Police, the Federal Police, the East Military Command and the Port Authority. Among the 125 leaders chosen were great names from Brazilian sports like Pelé, Gustavo Kuerten, Ronaldo, Gustavo Borges, Oscar and Daiane dos Santos.

There are only 2 tracks that are FIM-ready for MotoGp right now: Interlagos and Jacarepagua. Any other track have to be verified by FIM (same works for FIA International Races). About Interlagos, as far as I can remember, the mayor wasn´t much in favour of other events besides the F1 race (more of budgetary problems). What is worse is the fact that there was also a Bike Show event scheduled for the week of MotoGP.

In its report, the Coordination Commission approved the efficiency of the work schedule and highlighted the motivation of all those involved in preparing for the event - CO-RIO, COB and the three levels of government (city, state and federal). CO-RIO also presented a report detailing the evolution of the organization since the last meeting of the PASO Executive Committee, which was held on October 7 and 8, 2004 in Mexico City. The results pleased the President of PASO, Mario Vázquez Raña. "With the report from the Coordination Committee and the information from CO-RIO, the Pan American sports community is certain that it is taking firm steps toward an unforgettable edition of the Pan American Games at an Olympic level," said Vázquez Raña during the PASO Executive Committee meeting.

Rominger Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 we need new news!! Well, they are saying that there will be a cycling event on March 20th (no details at the RIO 2007 website). It will be the PanAmerican Cycling Cup, with live TV and 40 participants from 9 different countries (Brazil will have 2 teams), and they will use part of the Road Cycling track scheduled for 2007. What bothers me most is the fact that, once again, they use cycling to attract people and still talk about doing a provisional velodrome, which will be a wonderful way to attract new cyclists to the sport. When I say that our mayor don´t like sports, but only entertainment and media appearance, I am not joking. Speaking of velodrome and race track, see the latest on SOS Autodromo do Rio ------------- Oh, and what about the pictures of the Joao Havelange Stadium, any updates?

Carioca Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 ODEPA - PASO would like to include non olympic sports like Bowling, aquatic ski and squash. according the RIO2007 web site : "CO-RIO has officially requested that PASO not include categories from non-Olympic international federations in the RIO 2007 program because of a unanimous decision of the CO-RIO Executive Committee at the session on February 18 that involved the participation of representatives from the three levels of government. The request was based on studies carried out by CO-RIO's areas of Sports and Marketing, taking various points into consideration, including: budgetary impact, impact on operational complexity, prior existence of venues (and their conditions); interest of the Brazilian public, of the media in general and of sponsors; legacy of the Games vs. investments; stage of development and sportive organization of the various categories.

For some REAL news, go to: SOS Autodromo do Rio - SOS Rio Race Track (in Portuguese) Now, the official news.... VICE MAYOR HIGHLIGHTS RIO 2007 3/11/2005 The Pan American Games Rio 2007 have a fundamental importance for the development of the city of Rio de Janeiro. This is the opinion expressed by the city's Vice Mayor, Otávio Leite, who visited the head office of the Organizing Committee of Pan American Games Rio 2007 (CO-RIO) on Thursday, March 10 for a work meeting.

Rominger Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Ok, if THIS is not enough to convince anyone about the real intentions of our 'sporty' mayor, please let me know... Rio Loses X-Games Latin America (in Portuguese) And don´t come up with the argument that "Oh, but there are the test events" because they are just that, Tests, so after 2008, Rio will be a forgotten city in the sporting world. Once again, the same arguments, no money. Everything now is excused for the Pan 2007. I am starting to believe that the budget for the PanAm Stadium will be much more than expected...

tadeued Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 21/03/05 11:37 Em crise, Pan do Rio vive jogo do empurra Jogos devem custar, no mínimo, US$ 337 milhões LANCEPRESS! Após as trapalhadas de Santo Domingo, as confusões do Rio de Janeiro. Pressionada por San Antonio, a Odepa, entidade que administra o esporte olímpico nas Américas, irá pedir aos cariocas uma previsão definitiva sobre quanto será gasto para organizar o Pan-2007 e quem pagará a conta. De acordo com a matéria da "Folha de São Paulo" deste domingo, o evento, que estava orçado em 225 milhões de dólares, deve custar no mínimo 337,5 milhões, cerca de 911 milhões de reais. Com isso, Prefeitura do Rio, governo do Estado e governo federal teriam que se preparar para desembolsos maiores. O problema é que nenhuma das partes parece muito disposta a fazê-lo, e o jogo do empurra já começou. Alegando falta de recursos, representantes da Prefeitura já sinalizaram para o Co-Rio, o comitê organizador dos Jogos, a fim de pedir mais recursos para o governo federal. Disseram que estão com sérios problemas para arcar com outros gastos, como os do sistema de saúde e de transporte da cidade, e que não poderiam repassá-los ao Pan. Em 2005, a Prefeitura não teria pago as cotas devidas ao Co-Rio, cujos valores não foram divulgados. Representantes do comitê admitem que o orçamento dos Jogos teve de sofrer correções, mas dizem que ainda não chegaram a uma cifra definitiva. O trabalho está sendo desenvolvido com consultoria de duas empresas australianas, especialistas na organização de eventos esportivos e segurança. A cidade do Rio, que criticou muito a desorganização dos Jogos de Santo Domingo, em 2003, foi escolhida a sede do próximo Pan em agosto de 2002. Venceu os norte-americanos de San Antonio, por 30 a 21. Segundo a Odepa, a cidade texana ficou como suplente, caso o Rio não pudesse organizar o evento. « Voltar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadeued Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 alguem pode me dizer se essas imagens sao do antigo ou do novo projeto? Parque Olímpico do Rio - Autódromo Nelson Piquet Na atual área do Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet, em Jacarepaguá, será erguido o Parque Olímpico do Rio. Além das competições de automobilismo e motociclismo, o espaço vai abrigar três equipamentos esportivos que vão sediar modalidades esportivas, durante os Jogos Pan e Parapan-Americanos de 2007. O consórcio Rio Sport Plaza foi vencedor na licitação para execução deste projeto, e ganhou da Prefeitura concessão do uso da área de 809 mil m² do autódromo para construir a Arena Multiuso, o Parque Aquático e o Velódromo. As obras no local vão custar cerca de R$600 milhões. A construção do Parque Olímpico do Autódromo não trará nenhum ônus para a Prefeitura, que ainda poderá fazer uso dele em competições oficiais, e para as provas de automobilismo, inclusive Fórmula 1, e motociclismo – tudo com aprovação das Federações Internacionais das duas categorias e com pista de 4,8km, dentro das exigências das categorias máximas. Para o Pan 2007, na Arena Multiuso, com capacidade para 15 mil espectadores, haverá competições de basquete (masculino e feminino) e ginástica artística; no Parque Aquático, com espaço para dez mil pessoas, serão disputadas as modalidades de saltos ornamentais, natação e nado sincronizado; e o Velódromo, capaz de receber um público de cinco mil pessoas, sediará a prova de pista do ciclismo. A previsão de término das obras é dezembro de 2006, quando se iniciarão os eventos esportivos de teste para os Jogos Pan-Americanos. A construção da Arena Multiuso estará concluída antes, para receber o Mundial de Basquete Feminino, em setembro de 2006. Após o Pan e o Parapan 2007, o Rio Sport Plaza prevê a construção do Parque Aquático ficará sob tutela da Prefeitura que irá utilizar o espaço para projetos esportivos de inclusão social e identificação de talentos. Também está prevista uma série de construções de áreas comerciais e de lazer no local, que farão do autódromo um importante pólo econômico na região.

It may be concluded in December, 2006. The installations also will be used for the Parapanamerican Games, right after the PAnAms Two things: 1 - Those pictures are nowhere to be a reality in the short term. The driver´s association of Rio went to court and got a this week to restrain any modification of the actual Race Track, which means no bulldozer can enter inside the venue. Honestly, if they finish the arenas, you can expect something like March 2007, being an optimistic estimate. The Auto Racing community will do everything to stop the works on the Race Track until the Track is fully preserved for its main purpose. (Follow those steps at: SOS Autodromo do Rio ) 2 - The pictures of the Swimming Complex are completely different from the firsts drawings e.g. much less pharaonic. (Watch it below) Talk about reality check here. PS. Page 31 and counting.... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrd1rocha Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Well, hopefully they will able to finish the Olympic Park, it would help in case Rio applies for another Olympic Bid.
