Sir Rols Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 So what happened to all the Brazilians?????? I guess the Baron must have driven them off. But it seems strange that in the first week in ages in which some actual news is coming o0ut of Rio, nobody from Brazil has come on to post, alert or brag about it. First off, the Government has announced it will fund a new Olympic Park in Barra de Tijuca (I'd really like to hear more about that _ what's it involve?) And then Rogge comes in and says the WC 2014 is not such a hindrance (The WC was always a factor that could play both ways, it offers positives and negatives to an Olympic bid). C'mon Cariocas! Don't be scared. Post!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerioandrade Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Actually, BOC is still working on the bid, so we don´t have much to talk about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerioandrade Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 And... to tell you the truth, everybody here is kind of sick about all these Olympic stuff, since Rio couldn´t make the shortlist for 2004 and 2012 . 2012 was quite frustrating for both BOC and Brazilians, as it was to Turkishes when Istambul was droped off. People are way more interested in the Fifa World Cup right now. I personally think that BOC SHOULDN`T bid for 2016, but wait to 2020 instead.

Rominger Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have been a little busy with my real world (wife, work and triathlon, not in that specific order ), but so far things are really quiet around here, except for that ultimate-sensacional-never showed before project of using the Jacarepagua Race track area to be a "Sport Center Facility" (as they did in the 2012) Since this is nothing new and people already now what I think about it (see my signature below and my previous posts at Rio2016 first thread, and the fact that, for me, this bid is just a 'smoke curtain' for keeping the eye away from the other BOC problems (since I don´t think Rio have any chance for winning the bid), I pass that. Like Rogerio said, I am already tired of talking about the project and this 'sensational' project, which is simply real state driven more than thinking about the Olympics and wellfare of the citzens. The 2014 WC, already in the bag, is much more in the spotlight right now. Roltel, if you have more doubts about the latest news I can happily answer to you.

It seems that bidding for the Olympics here in Brazil is more of speculative than anything true. A political act, I'd say. I think we should get experienced in mega international events, which would involve pretty much everything that Brazil isn't good at now - and it is a hell lot of things. Maybe in 2020, or later. We'll always bid, isn't it? You never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rominger Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 What I'm interestd in is this Barra De Tijuca Olympic Park. What's it involve? I only saw something about this mentioned briefly within another news story. As you may recall, the Rio 2007 'rented' part of the Jacarepagua Race Track to build 3 new facilities: the velodrome, the Aquatic Park, and the Multipurpose Arena. Well, the Barra da Tijuca Olympic Park means simply that the race track will no longer exist and other 4 sporting venues will be built where the track is right now, plus an Olympic Training Center facility, just like USOC in Colorado. Considering that this was one of the downsizes of the 2012 bid (too much concentration of venues) I really don´t know how this would help the 2016 bid. Or, as it may be more reasonable, the theory of destroying the race track due to real state speculative reasons sounds much more interesting, since the City Hall has, by law, to fix the race track by July 2008. This would be the reason why they would gain some time to avoid the reconstruction of the track and use that open space to build venues or, in the case the bid fails, lots of more residential buildings, since the view is spetacular over there (there is a lagoon right next to the race track, which means a permanent open view).

Right !! I sincerely wish Rio to get the Olympics, but with the knowledge of the " highly profesional management" that the Brazilian Government usually apply in huge projects, I do believe that we´re going to have problems in handling the WC and the OC almost at the same time. We should keep our focus in the WC and bid for the Olympics for 2020. Our chances would increase greatly for 2020, with the experience of both the WC and the PanAms.

DannyelBrazil Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Aren't you shooting off your mouth again? How can you say you KNOW more than a Brazilian? How presumptuous can u get? I think because James is from Brazil or not? Rio could handle both events, but Brazil has no previous situation of hosting two major events... Its hard to discuss about that. The only think I know is Brazil have money to spend in both games. Money isn't, wasn't and won't be a problem for the 10th biggest economy in the world.

James, I do believe that Brazil can handle both the events. We have the people, we have the money, we have the places, we have peoples´s support... so... we can do it, I know Rio can do it. The only thing that worries me are our Governors and our Representatives in the National Congress, who are always bound to make a mess of everything. That´s why I think we should wait a little. 2020 would be a buss-eye for Rio, but 2016 is much more tougher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think Brazil is becoming cautious of their strong bid. Making neccesary changes(which imply that they are very ready) and gathering momentum in publicizing it. I still want to say here that they should be critical about their bidding process and I hope they will get there. Guarantees submitted by Ro 2016 exceed IOC requirements--from the News on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our chances would increase greatly for 2020, with the experience of both the WC and the PanAms. I disagree. The 2020 host will be chosen in 2013, when Brazil will be at final preparatives to World Cup, so World Cup will not give any expertise to brazilian bid. And for 2020 all big European cities that are not bidding for 2016 will be in the race: Paris, Moscow, Lisbon, Copenhague are making plans for 2020. So 2016 is the best chance for Rio until now. In 2020, if Madrid won't won the 2016 race, Rio has less chance against those strong European cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things go really well on the preparations for the WC, specially about the infra-structure, Rio would be a strong candidate, even with Paris and Moscow on the race. I personally think that the scenario would be even more favorable for Rio than it is today. Of course, this wouldn´t be the case if Chicago wins. Two following OG in the same continent. That would be a disaster for Rio. But..... I personally don´t see Chicago winning this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio will be the frontrunner up to 10/07/09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
