The so called Olympic Park shows Brazil still has a fascination with soul crushing Modern Architecture, a la Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. Who would want to hang out on concrete under the hot sun?

Fun youtube video on all the Olympic sites. Looks like a dystopian nightmare:

Your post made me think of the original Rollerball movie for some reason. :-)

I thought Olympic facilities were built with some definite future use as part of the plan. I guess not.

On track to become the most modern new Favela in Rio. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in 5 years or so...

The Olympics allow politicians to extort money and play quid pro quo. Donors to politicians reap the rewards of lucrative boondoggle contracts, while the city is left paying the bills for decades, forever. Meanwhile some FAKE sports are played by FAKE athletes, watched by FAKE fans that pay big dollars for tickets while tax deducting them as business entertainment expenses.

The Olympics now represent the WORST of humanity. Put a bullet in the Olympics...

Just have Greece have the games or design and build structures that can be dismanteled and sent to the next city, like a circus.

Olympic venues, both winter & summer, will probably go the way of World Fairs. No one wants to sponsor them because of the cost ... the prestige factor only goes so far. Where the Olympics are concerned, especially the Winter
Games/events, they need to recycle old venues, like Lake Placid,NY, Squaw Valley, CA or Whistler in BC Canada. In some cases they have and it keeps cost in check.
