I'm sorry for leveling the thread, but I must express here how inconceivable is the fact that in 2018 (we're not talking about something 50 years ago!), we did not have access to any video record of the great majority of team sports matches at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

 

This is a historic damage, and I am perplexed with the passivity of both the International Olympic Committee and the sports lovers.

 

Sad, revolting and shameful.

Though I've personally wondered about it as well, I just think it's pretty serious, when almost 250 experts on health is worried. I can't help but being a bit myself.

But it does seem a bit weird that the experts aren't considering the amount of mosquitos during august and where the zika problems are worst.

Perhaps athletes who do not want to come to Brazil because of zika may also want to avoid drive a car :p http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/06/03/480495630/does-the-olympics-in-rio-put-the-world-in-danger-of-zika 

 

Zika is a problem and requires precautions, but I consider disproportional the "terrorism" upon it.

By entering a country the symbols have to cover all the athletes of that country at the event?

 

For example, it seems fair to indicate Australia (Buchanan) for *****, but I dont see Reynolds with the same favoritism. It would not be appropriate to put her in another classification?

I clicked, because I know the piktochart :p

 

Are interesting considerations. One thing that has me a bit angry is sensationalism around the Zika virus in the international media. But I recognize that the host country will always be exposed to judgments, is part of the package.

I like "Engenhão" (as the Olympic Stadium was called Them) too. The outside, However, is still quite messy with paint problems and a lot of debris.

 

Until the Olympics they must solve, but has been somewhat troubled so far.
