But I should start to save money first...Brazil doesn't ask for a visa from Turkish citizens which is awesome Quote

I REALLY WANT TO BE THERE..BUT ITS TOO FAR FROM MALAYSIA..goodluck for rio You will probably spend a day in airplanes to come... But it will worth!!! Save money from now and I'm sure you can manage to come!!! Quote
emre Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 concept is well planned ... i think the venues will reshape again in near future or change designs or its the last point?... welldone brazil.. a nice job u did. y the way whats the distance between the park and the city center? Quote
gotosy Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Posted August 28, 2011 y the way whats the distance between the park and the city center? based in the bid concept map, the radius distance from OV (olympic Village - next to Olympic Park) to the Rio downtown is about 25/30 Km Quote
ktoles Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 based in the bid concept map, the radius distance from OV (olympic Village - next to Olympic Park) to the Rio downtown is about 25/30 Km I must say that I initially had my skepticism with the bid and Rio winning. But I must say that Rio is doing a fabulous job in their preparation and their plans. It's interesting to compare the winning designs with the originals in the bid book and I must say that these are much more exciting and vibrant! I would love to be able to come to Rio for 2016 but alas my budget won't allow me to come so I'll be watching the awesome images from my TV at home. These games are going to be vibrant and historic!

DannyelBrazil Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 The city hall have been done a good job so far... But lots must be done yet... No doubts, if we compare Olympic Games preparations and World Cup, we see a huge difference! Quote
ktoles Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Yes I've heard that the World Cup 2014 preparations have been a big mess unfortunately. Why the lack of organization and missteps? I haven't really kept up with it so I'm not too sure... Of course with 5 years left till the games there's still so much work to be done but here's hoping the lessosn will be learned especeially with the Athens 2004 Debacle! I'm sure Rio will put on a fine games though and that all cariocas will be celebrating! It will be amazing! Quote

I'm sure Rio will put on a fine games though and that all cariocas will be celebrating! It will be amazing! The differences are in the fact that Rio city hall and Brazilian NOC are coordinating the preparations for the Olympic Games and Federal Govt and (the corrupt) Brazilian Football Confederation are coordinating the preparations for the World Cup. Also, it's easier to put efforst in one city than in twelve. Somehow, for Brazil, it's more complex to put the World Cup host cities in preparations together than Rio alone (Olympic Games). Quote
