Did no one actually GO to Brazil to see if they could actually provide the venues needed? Was no one checking on progress on the venues; or the cleaning up of venues, before the games began?
The Rio officials promised to have it all cleaned up for the games. They had what? 6 yrs or so. They failed to keep their promise miserably. Really no surprise considering they’re 3rd worlders.
My understanding is that Olympic officials made numerous visits to Rio to check on the progress and cleanliness of high end escorts ... er ... I mean ... venues.
Well, at least the Games aren’t being played in Chicago!
