To be honest, the games should have been cancelled and hosted in one of the previous hosts. I have no problem with Brazil, but hosting 2 big competitions this close was insanity. With the political events of late these games are gonna cost the Brazillian state and people alot. I'm sure Brazil is having to finance itself at incredible interest rates to get these games done.

It's a terrible tragedy. It would've been best for the games and the brazillians if it had been canceled. But oh well... too late now. Fingers crossed that they can at least protect the athletes.

my thoughts exactly... what were they thinking when they gave Olympics to Rio? I mean even if we ignore political and economic problems, the extreme amount of garbage that pollutes sea water is a serious issue that cannot be fixed in the short term

I really hope that everything goes well, as the country and its people suffered economically for this, at least make it worth it...

C'mon, Thames River water was fine for the Olympics, it's not really any better than Guanabara. Millions of people get into the water there every year and nobody died because of that.
