Rio Olympic Venues Go The Same Way As Greece's

Rio Olympic venues already falling into a state of disrepair. It seems as if Brazil is disintegrating. Shame. https://t.co/2R3UN5u85A

Blooming Algae Turn Olympic Pools Green

Two Olympic pools have turned an unappetising shade of green in Rio.

Despite soothing words from the Rio2016 communication director that this was down to a change in alkalinity, the real cause (according to CNN) is algae blooming because the water hasn't been treated with the chemical necessary to kill it.

IOC Fucks Up Russian Doping Ban

As per the Telegraph:

"Sports federations were ordered to lift bans already imposed on athletes cited in a damning report into state-sponsored doping in the country.

The International Olympic Committee issued a notice to governing bodies asking them urgently to reassess the suspensions of Russians under their jurisdiction following the revelation they had misinterpreted eligibility criteria laid down by its executive board."

Well done the IOC, two days until the start of the Olympics and chaos rules!

Olympic Torch Greeted By Riots In Rio

Police used stun grenades and tear gas to clear protesters in the path of the Olympic torch in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro yesterday.

Anti-government protesters in Duque de Caixas threw rocks and blocked the torch’s path. Police had to use pepper spray and rubber bullets to control the crowd.

Rio's Polluted Waterways - Don't Put You Head Underwater!

A 16 month long study, commissioned by The Associated Press, has concluded that the waterways of Rio de Janeiro are as filthy as ever; contaminated with raw human sewage teeming with dangerous viruses and bacteria.

It's not just the athletes who are at risk of getting violently ill in water competitions, but the AP's tests indicate that tourists also face potentially serious health risks on the golden beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana.

Experts have advised athletes who compete in the water not to put their heads under the water. That advice sounds equally applicable to all no athletes who find themselves in the water.

Rio Olympic Village is a Shithole

With less than two weeks until the start of the Rio Olympics, the Guardian reports that 19 of the 31 buildings in the Athletes Village have yet to pass safety tests.

Concerns have been heightened by gas and water leaks and at least one power outage. The Guardian has also learned that a short circuit caused a small fire on Saturday.

The shoddy conditions – which include flooded floors, broken elevators, mould and holes in the ceiling – have shocked some team managers, athletes and volunteers who have begun arriving.

The organisers promise to resolve the problems by Thursday, but in the interim the Australian team has decided to temporarily rehouse its athletes.

Stress tests – which should have been done months ago – are still less than halfway complete because the 17-storey buildings were delivered behind schedule and the water, gas and electricity were only recently connected.

This does not bode well for the Games!

Russian Rio Athletic Ban Upheld

BREAKING: Russian athletes won't be allowed to compete at Rio Olympics after ban upheld

— The Int'l Spectator (@intlspectator) July 21, 2016

However, despite wholesale doping of Russian sportsmen/women, the IOC is reluctant to impose a 100% ban on all Russian competitors heading for Rio.

The Cursed Olympics - Jaguar Shot Dead During Flame Ceremony

In what will doubtless prove to be a highly unfavourable augury, a 17 year old jaguar called Juma (used for a photo shoot for the Olympic torch's passage through Brazil's Amazon) was shot dead shortly afterwards when it escaped its handlers and threatened a vet.

Killing the Olympic mascot does not bode well for the Games at all!

Rio Declares State of "Public Calamity"

With less than 48 days until the 2016 Olympics in Rio, a major spanner has just been thrown in the works.

Rio has gone bust, and has declared a state of "public calamity".

What does this mean?

It means that there is no money left in the city's bank account to pay for anything including, but not limited to:

- security
- health
- public transport

and, of course, the Olympics!

As such the Rio state government, and everyone else, expects a total collapse in public security, health, education, mobility, education, environment.

Plus, of course, the Olympics!

WHO Gives Rio Olympics The Green Light

The World Health Organization said that the 2016 Olympics do not need to be moved from Rio de Janeiro, or postponed, because there is "a very low risk" that holding the games there will cause further spread of the Zika virus.

The WHO's expert panel on Zika concluded that hosting the Olympics in August (during the Brazilian winter) means that the mosquito population will be smaller, and intensified mosquito-control measures to be in place around the competition venues "should further reduce the risk of transmission."

Let us trust that the WHO is coreect!

WHO To Asses If Rio Olympics Should Proceed

Following growing public pressure from doctors and health professionals about the Zika virus, the Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Dr. Margaret Chan has caved in and agreed to convene an expert committee to consider whether the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics should proceed as planned.

She is quoted by the Telegraph:

"Given the current level of international concern, I have decided to ask members of the Zika Emergency Committee to examine the risks of holding the Olympic Summer Games as currently scheduled."

The date of the meeting will be fixed next week.

However, given the alleged close connections between WHO and the IOC, WHO is not expected to nix the Games.
