I don't think so. It's more probable something arount the Top-20 or Top-15 in Golds, and this would be an unforgettable result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 IMO, BOC should not be worried about the number of medals Brazil will get in 2016, but in building the conditions needed to a ever increasing performance of Brazilian competitors, since venues to formation: a long time plan, not a short time search for results of a inexistent infra.

Maurren Maggi is the womens gold winner on the triple jump in Beijing, but i dont think that she would have age to compete in Rio. Orlando Silva: 'It's time for flexibilization " Sports Minister calls for bids in order of resources The Sports Minister Orlando Silva, defended on Tuesday strongly what he called bureaucracy of procedures for public tenders in Brazil. The desire of the politician is to eliminate several steps for the purchase of materials or services by public authorities. - The legal system in Brazil is very lavish in resources. It's amazing how it offers alternative resources, which take forever to resolve certain disputes. And the rules of government procurement is also lavish in a recursive system - said the Minister of Sports. The offensive ministerial in favor of simplifying the process of public purchases occurred, according to Silva, by an excess of zeal. He noted that the shorter the deadline for completing the bidding process, the greater the benefits. Thesis by the Minister of Sport, the process involving the 2014 World Cup and the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games 2016 would be the main beneficiaries, eliminating some risks that contribute to the delay in the works. - A major challenge for Brazil is to simplify rites. This, incidentally, is different from eliminating bidding. When I spoke to (this) was controversial in some cycles, it was because some people interpret this measure as a government proposal to end the bid - said the Minister of Sports. Orlando Silva explained that the phase inversion in the bidding process has helped. He cited, for example, the ability to get the choice of a winning company for the price proposal presented. Not so now: the process begins by examining documentation from competitors in the race. Port takes the best for 2016 Municipality will invest in the construction of ten thousand rooms in the region The city of Rio and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) reached an agreement on the relocation of Barra da Tijuca, Zona Oeste for the port region in the center. Negotiations took place during this first year the state capital has become the Olympic host in 2016 and in the end, the Port will receive a total of 10596 / 4. - Originally, we thought 15 000 would be the ideal number, but the reality of the market in recent months has shown us otherwise. Ten thousand rooms, which will result emquatro thousand or five thousand apartments. It is a great agent to give the boost we need for the port region - said the secretary extraordinary Development, Felipe Garcia. The secretary said the IOC, after authorizing the transfer of four thousand rooms, allowed other three thousand eight hundred and leave the Media Village Bar. With the decision, the total quarters of the Media Village bar fell from 12,281 to 20175 / 4. The remaining three thousand apartments in Port Vila will be referring to the referees (1,840 rooms), which was already planned for the site, in addition of 1,248 rooms, a Media Village and technical officers, first scheduled to be in the Maracana. - This matter (relocation to the Port) is closed. But let's try to build more hotels in Barra, besides those who had promised in the application file, to try to decrease more Media Village - said Garcia. The secretary stressed that ending the dispute with the IOC has capped the first year of preparation for the Games of Rio. And the goal of initiating the buildings that will require more time was reached. Cabral, 'Do not reinvent the wheel' Governor has the challenge of fulfilling promises for 2016 Re-elected Sunday to lead the state for over four years, the governor of Rio de Janeiro, Sergio Cabral Filho has a positive balance of state actions in this first year of preparation for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016. And aware that people would not forgive such a disappointment similar to that in the Pan American Games Rio 2007, when few improvements have been won for the day to day, particularly in relation to public services, the governor said to make sure that this perception will be another at the end of 2016. Improvements in transportation, environment and safety are expected actions by any citizen. The extent to which the Games will help make them come true? One of the strategies of the State Government at the time of submission, it was just to list the projects that were already aligned with our plan of government. Do not reinvent the wheel, because we knew the works of great relevance for the population of Rio de Janeiro, as the subway extension, upgrading, improving safety and reducing pollution of the bays of Guanabara and Jacarepaguá would also be relevant to the Games. What we did was take this great opportunity to accelerate and facilitate these projects and, in one year, many of them began to be implemented. And if Rio did not win, how would this work? I think they're fine as they are today. As I said earlier, these works would be done anyway, and were on our commitment to government. We made a great effort to adjust our accounts at the outset of breath just to have to invest and facilitate large projects. If the works take place, what are the Games? I can cite many arguments, but in short, the Rio 2016 allowed the channeling of more resources for state, city, speeding up the implementation of some of these projects. The improvement of transport has been addressed as an issue as security. Delays, bad services ... To change this situation, we initiated a series of actions. In the case of rail, the purchase of 120 new trains, of which 30 have already been purchased, the other 94 will be retired. With respect to the subway station have delivered Ipanema / General Osório and we are completing the New Town. Not to mention the works of the subway line 4, which already began in the Barra da Tijuca. Transport were scrapped, the subway would not buy one car for over a decade. And today I guarantee that travelers feel that something has changed for the better. Units Pacification Police (UPP) were one of the main projects used as a propaganda campaign in 2016. They solve the problem? We work tirelessly to do so. When I say that the UPP was a conquest of the River is because, with them, thousands of people are freed from control of trafficking and oppression. Let us bring peace to all communities. But episodes like the invasion of the Intercontinental Hotel (in São Conrado, Aug. 21) by outlaws tarnish the image of the city. Always said he had no illusions and knew the challenge that awaited me in the security area. That episode, however bad it is, has shown that we are on track. It was a bandit on the run from police action. There was the invasion of a hotel by bandits. They fled from a policeman who now works to combat crime and will work even harder. And that stock of preparations for the games you do? A very positive assessment of this past year. During this period, was key to partnership with other levels of government, federal and municipal levels. And this has allowed the state to channel resources to enable projects and actions that are under our responsibility. In a few years, so Rio will be the envy of everyone? I like the city and state will be a few years, with the slums already urbanized, transportation working with much higher quality and efficiency, environmental transformation that will come with cleaning up the bay. Not to mention the growth in tourism, the projection image of Rio abroad. All this helps to make the greatest legacy of these great events: the increased self-esteem of the people. Morumbi outside Rio 2016 And after the 2014 World Cup, Morumbi was also out of the Rio 2016 and now it's official. In the article which I published two days, the president of the Organizing Committee for the Games Rio 2016, Nuzman, was clear: the stadiums of cities chosen for the 2014 World Cup will be used during the Games Rio 2016. - I have some concern (with St. Paul) and I will follow what the World Cup organizing committee does. If he chooses the stadium for Corinthians, will be the Corinthians. I will follow what the president Ricardo Teixeira ('s Cup Organizing Committee 2014) to decide - Nuzman said. In the nomination dossier submitted by the River, the state of Sao Paulo would be the Morumbi. But ... what has happened. The other stadiums set to receive football games Games are: Maracanã (RJ), Mineirão (MG), New Font (BA) and Mané Garrincha (DF). New golf venue Among the articles published during an election year in Rio for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in 2016, was one that ended up not comment on the blog: that golf will be played in a new field. The Chairman of the Organizing Committee Rio 2016 Nuzman revealed that golf, which will return to the Games, will get a whole new field, in Barra da Tijuca, Zona Oeste. Thus, both the Itanhanga (Barra da Tijuca) and the Gávea (in São Conrado) lost the race to receive the Olympic disputes. Rugby is still scheduled to be held in San Gennaro, the field of Vasco. Rio 2016 but still awaits the approval of the board of the club to formalize the choice before the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
