DannyelBrazil Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well, from Globoesporte.com http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/botafogo/noticia/2014/03/engenhao-completa-um-ano-fechado-e-causa-prejuizos-ao-botafogo-e-local.html The renovation of the roof of the João Havelange Olympic State are following the schedule. Currently the municipality is riding 34 shoring towers. Risen with the help of cranes, steel structures emerge from the grandstand steps to ease the burden of coverage and permit the installation of masts and rods that reinforce the upper arches. When reform is complete, coverage will be retensioned and shoring towers will be removed. completion date is confirmed for the end of 2014. This is from March 26th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think they should start the expansion meanwhile the works in the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think they should start the expansion meanwhile the works in the roof. I agree. Will they have 2 Cauldrons? 1 at the Maracana Stadium and 1 at the Olympic Athletics Stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Adding to the 2016 Olympic Games, that right now, all stadiums for the Football event are just ready (Missing only the roof revestment of Sao Paulo's arena). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Why I don't see these pictures on British press, Tony? 'Olympic venue on time' (if indeed it is) isn't news anywhere in the world Danny. It's what's expected of a host. Thanks for the pictures Bezzi.

DannyelBrazil Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 So do you agree with me that claiming all the preparations are behind schedule is inaccurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 So do you agree with me that claiming all the preparations are behind schedule is inaccurate? How is it inaccurate? Everyone can see the Preparations are behind schedule. Maracana is one of the rare Completed Venues for Rio 2016. Others need Building or Renovating and are delayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not saying the prepations are okay or there aren't worries over Rio venues. But to claim "Maracana is one of the rare venues done" is not TRUE.

DannyelBrazil Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Who's posting inaccurate information now? Maracanazinho Arena and Maria Lenk Aquatic Center need Renovations. So they aren't ready. No, Maracanazinho need to expand two locker rooms (that can't even be considered renovation) and Maria Lenk, as far as I know is ready. (EDIT) Maria Lenk only need a warm-up pool nearby. It's something simple and fast to build. The state of art structure is ready. The canoe/kayak venue is to be in Deodoro and it isn't even started. Sorry, it's rowing venue in Lagoa. Canoe/Kayak is the whitewater Stadium (that worries me), I made a mess with translations. And the rowing stadium needs some minor adjustments, it can't be considered renovations too. Edited May 11, 2014 by DannyelBrazil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 If some minor works required is considered "renovation", no single venue will be ready until weeks before the games in no city around the world hosting Olympic Games. Sambadrome need some fences to Marathon arrival, Maracana needs to find a place to put the cauldron, the Julio Delamare needs new seating and HSBC Arena neeed some colorful banners with Rio 2016 logos all around. Maria Lenk is not ready. Also, a change in the Venue is a Renovation. Your information my friend, is inaccurate. The main venue, yes, ir ready. From lancenet.com Adaptations to the Maria Lenk Aquatic Park. The main work is to build a new swimming pool for wam-up. http://blogs.lancenet.com.br/rio2016/2014/01/17/e-o-que-falta-no-maria-lenk/ You can have the entire report over all Maria Lenk needs in this link, all of them temporary structure.

A Warm-Up Pool is essential. It's a Renovation! Your information stating Maria Lenk is ready is inaccurate. Otherwise, Maracana was ready for 2014 in 1960, when it's not the case!

DannyelBrazil Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) All stadiums need some complimentary works, adaptations, look of the games banner, fences, some new restrooms, some additional elevator. That's not renovations, that's are complimentary works. If we count this as required to consider everything done, so nothing in Rio is done. But it's not Completely Ready! It's not up to Standards at the moment for Rio 2016, so it shouldn't be called Completed. But they won't ever be done until weeks before the games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If place mascot statues in front of every single venue be mandatory, so, by your standards, no venue will ever be ready until, for example, 2 days before the games when they finally placed a statue of the mascot in front of them? Sorry, I don't agree with it. Edited May 11, 2014 by DannyelBrazil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of argument, I cannot be bothered to keep going around and around and around and around in circles with you. You say Rio is delayed, which I congratulate your honesty for, but you always have to add something to try and make it look not as serious, when it's in serious delays. Stop with the denying and stop with bullying the British Media, when the Rio 2016 stories are in all Media outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the worldwide media outlets are not claiming Rio games can be moved to London, actually, they are pointing, it's tabloid news and must be seen with caution. Nuff said.
