"John Coates, the vice-president of the International Olympic Committee, has called Brazil's preparations for the 2016 Rio Games 'the worst' in his experience and critically behind schedule, but warned there was no 'plan B' to find another host."

Dire warnings are often issued about Olympics (ie, Sochi), but somehow this time I DON'T think they're going to pull it off on time. Rio will be a disaster.
The Brit and US media always say these types of things before every Olympics not held in the US or UK. In the end it always ends up just being Western propaganda.
Is the CIA behind this?
The Brazilian chicks will be prepared.
As long as the stadiums don't fall down on people (which has happened in building them for the World Cup), they will be fine. Honestly, how bad can it be? People go to games all over the world every day in stadiums with cheap bleacher seats. They go through massive traffic jams. They sleep in bedbug ridden cheap motels. The experience crime. They are overcharged at popular destinations. There's your Olympics for you. With the World Cup stadiums done this year at some point, maybe after the World Cup, they'll have plenty of stadiums to serve as a basis for 2016.
Who goes to Rio for athletics anyway. PARTAY!!!!! This is going to be one dark nightclub scene after another.

Actually, the Brit and US media also said these things before the London Olympics.
Athens was impossibly behind schedule, as I recall. Honestly, as long as there's a field/court/track/pool and a place for the TV cameras, the Games will go on.

And making sure no nutbar jumps on to the marathon race route to interfere with the leader!
Brother, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Though, Munich, 1972 some gadfly pretending to be the winner, hopped on to the track to run a lap just before eventual winner Frank Shorter entered the stadium!
Thought I saw, 1976 Montreal, decathlon winner Bruce Jenner while doing his victory lap, get jumped by some seedy looking dude dressed in denim - was quickly subdued and pitched out of the stadium.
Bloody hell!!!!
The sports events are on schedule. It's the business lounges, party venues and hookers deals for the IOC members that haven't been adequately addressed yet.
but they got that Brazilian orgies thing going on for them.
Any pics?

I remember that London Olympics with all these ugly British women. White as a ghost. Big like a whale.
Rio Olympics will be awesome. Brazilian women are hot.
