Rio 2016 Olympic Park


Recommended Posts

Man, I thought people exaggerated when they said the IOC demanded local officials get down on their knees and blow them. Looks like they weren't kidding.

Now I see why Oslo dropped out.

A while ago I read on the internet that the three most important visits to any country are:
- The president of the United States
- The pope
- Queen Elizabeth II
Well, the IOC tries to be the fourth .

They did a list of very ridiculous demands to the Norwegian government, knowing that Almaty and Beijing were very lackluster options. The parliament pretty much told them to **** off.

Maybe if they didn't acted so spoiled back then we would have a god-tier host city for the WOG in 2022 instead of a polluted shithole. But nooooooooo....

The left did not get the support of the population, where two thirds support the impeachment.


Failing to get the support of the Brazilian tries support of foreigners.


-

Who sees these 'big' protests at Olympic Park, thinks that Brazil is experiencing a civil war.


Ace things go well, even if new allegations of corruption do not appear, at least in my city, I saw no one who supported the impeachment regret.


Foreigners can come quiet, are welcome!

anyone that went to test events at Olympic park whats the aprox walk time from gates to aquatics or future arena?

I see the spectator guides state its about 11 min from transport to gate so that about the same as London.
