Tony E Loves Architecture Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Rio may fail to be the best games ever, but for sure Rio will achieve some better things than London in certains aspects. Maybe few, maybe more. Just get used to the idea if (probably) Rio does not surpass London in 2016 as best the games ever, Tokyo will in 2020. I tend to disagree.

DannyelBrazil Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I tend to disagree.

FiveRingFever Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Apparently, the bay will not be cleaned up in time for the games. http://espn.go.com/olympics/story/_/id/10948291/official-said-brazil-not-meet-water-pollution-targets-2016-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yikes. So what happens now? Two possibilities To keep the sailing events in the entrance of the bay where water are far in better conditions than the sensationalistic picture Paul just posted. Or move the events to clear waters Buzios region 100km far from Rio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or move the events to clear waters Buzios region 100km far from Rio honestly there are also far far worse conditions in parts of the bay, just thought the fat doggie was cute sadley, the events should be moved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Doesn't look Photoshopped to me, but realistic.But the picture is real, only took 40 km far from the actual place where sailing event was planned to take place.I explained this several times. The bay is huge, the north part of the bay is truly disgusting. The entrance of the bay, where Sugar Loaf is located, is in far better condition (still this "better" condition is not good enough. To show pictures of the North of the Bay and claim "this is where sailing event will yake place" is, at least, inaccuracy honestly there are also far far worse conditions in parts of the bay, just thought the fat doggie was cute sadley, the events should be moved Specially Northeastern part of the bay.Dog are always cute. I think clean waters Barra region could host sailing events. All it needs is a marina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 will it be moved? No news so far. IMO, I think Botafogo/Flamengo area can host the event (as planned) if authorities run to finish the sewing treatment works as promised and to a big operation to clean the entrance of the bay. That's only one opinion. This is the place expected to host the sailing events Again, despite look cleaner than other pictures, the water condition is not adequate. Still, the diference is visible. The challenge of bringing these water to a better situation is achievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
