bairrosfelipe Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 What I'm saying is why did the IOC have to say this http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5231236 I understand the construction has picked up a gigantic amount but why wait for the Vice President to say that???? Why not have a steady rate of construction? Why the hell are you trying to discuss something in 2014? All items I sent are more recent than the one link you posted here. The opinion of president and IOC changed. Im not in the Rio 2016 committee to know why they started the works sooner or later, it does not matter to me. Just know that everything will be ready for the event next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I will say the amount of work completed over the past year is great and necessary but why the delay? What happened? The Olympic park shouldn't have been a dirt pit 2 years out. Brazilian bureaucracy and judiciary system... When you realize how hard is to surpass all phases in a tender, you starts to understand will works always starts delayed. I'm sure it's making the IOC really nervous to cut it really short with the games quickly approaching. Aren't there supposed to be test events a year out? They are already happening in the ready venues, like World League Finals in Maracanazinho right now. What I'm saying is why did the IOC have to say this http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5231236 I understand the construction has picked up a gigantic amount but why wait for the Vice President to say that???? Why not have a steady rate of construction? As explained a lot of times here... Brazilian bureaucracy to start works is terrible. You can have tons of sues in justice not to mention, companies must fullfill lots of stupid requirements... About Mr. Coates, it was commented here in Brazil by people inside the Olympic Movement, that it was a political speech, indeed to avoid Nuzman (Brazilian NOC President) to gain status inside the IOC. Curiously few months later, Mr. Coates come to Rio, saw all the works and said he was wrong. (Of course, no big media on his second speech). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cauê Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 They have come a long way since last year but they still have a lot of work to finish. Look at the aquatic center and velodrome. I agree it's astonishing that they completed this work load in a year but why stress it out? Why have the IOC say that this is the worst construction process in history? Well, if the Rio games are not the worst in history (like Atlanta 96) I'll be happy. Construction process in Brazil are not like China, but the events are a big success in organization , security and modernity. Great example: The World Cup.

bomberguy Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Only just decided I'll attend Rio and so this was the first thread I wanted to visit! Nice to see the construction coming along. Well behind London and Beijing, but I'm sure they will finish everything in time for next August. Really excited to see the photos being posted in here. A question of the Maracana, is it being updated/upgraded at all for the Olympics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekekelso Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 The stepped effect of the roofs of the three arenas is quite smart; I hadn't realised that was the plan. Maybe they were built the same height, and they have ground sinkage issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Its looking great in Rio. I Cant help compare the broadcast centre to the London one. The reaction London got when people spent days, weeks, months and years complaining how awful the shed looked, then Rio builds exactly the same building, and there is no criticism. Hopefully people in future will judge each games on an equal footing, its only fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
