bairrosfelipe Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 looks a long way to go even thought it I just over a year to go to the games start! I don't agree with you. A year ago the olympic park was a big dirt field and concrete beams. Today we have all built arenas being finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usa2024olympics Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here is the HSBC Arena, actual venue of the Gymnastics in the Rio 2016 Olympics, one year before the Pan Am 2007.

Rob2012 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 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. The velodrome looks a worry to me. I'd say Rio has really sped up its preparations in the last year though, since the IOC and Federations were issuing subtle warnings. Looking at the Park I'd say apart from the velodrome things look like they're well on course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorchbearerSydney Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 The speed of work has been incredible- but the venues should be having their fit-out for test events over the next few months now. No denying things are running late, and it will be down to the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairrosfelipe Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 The first test events in the Olympic Park will be only in january of next year, but the Comite says the arenas dont will be 100% ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiesnacks Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 My guess is the international press will start pushing about this with a year to go, which is soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairrosfelipe Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 My guess is the international press will start pushing about this with a year to go, which is soon In the "1 year to go" the olympic park will have most of arenas with roof, the urbanism near to be complete and a lot of venues with seats. I think it dont will be so terrible like the 500 days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiesnacks Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 That's the Park though, aren't the other new venues worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 They might have come a long way over the past year but there is still a way to go I think. I am not saying that they wont be ready, just that I think there is quite a bit of work still to be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Brazilian do the things at the last minute (PanAms, World Cup, Youth Day, UN Environmental Meet) - it's like a national tradition... Why people is still worried? One day before the Opening Ceremony everything will be there, smelling new and shining and few employees will be removing dust from the construction...Nothing new on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comisso 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
