I'm going to Rio tomorrow and I'll have the opportunity to revisit the Olympic Park since I'll attend the Rock in Rio music festival this weekend. I found this video images from this week: From the video, we can see some things about the Rio venues: The Rio Olympic Arena (Gymnastics), formerly HSBC Arena, is now called Jeunesse Arena. It's probably the most used venue of the Park, there's sports and other big events regularly there. It's possible to see the damage at the roof of the Velodrome after the fire some months back. The repairs will cost "only" 200,000 reais (about 65,000 dollars) and will be paid with part of the money the music festival will bring - they will pay aproximately 1 million reais, which will also be used to transform the Carioca Arena 2 in a training center as a legacy for brazilian sports. The Cariocas Arenas will hold the Game XP (a big eSports event), which will happen at the same time as the music festival. The Future Arena (Handball) is still there, unfortunately. It was supposed to be desmantled already, but the new projection is for the next year. The Aquatics stadium "skeleton" is also there. Both pools (competition and warm up) were dismantled many months ago and will go to other states that don't have 50m pools. Unfortunately no one seems to be interested in the "junk" of metal around it - so far that the idea of dismantle the arena might be scraped in favour of doing another thing using the structure (a smaller football field, a recreational aquatics center, among other ideas, have been suggested, but nothing concrete so far). The Tennis Center hosted some beach volleyball matches this year and I hear is in talks to host future ATP events in Rio.

Man of the match:

Somehow the official site thinks that athletes from Venezuela are from Cote d'Ivoire

Del Potro

49er World Championship Gold: Dylan Fletcher-Scott Stuart Bithell Silver: James Peters Fynn Sterritt Bronze: Benjamin Bildstein David Hussl 49er FX World Championship Gold: Jena Mai Hansen Katja Salskov-Iversen Silver: Martine Grael Kahena Kunze Bronze: Alexandra Maloney Molly Meech

Silver and bronze

Crowd (and commentators) really didn't like azerbaijani athlete win over the dutch.

Mayra Aguiar

Yes, only 5 points separating the 2nd from the 8th team

Suddenly things get interesting in South American qualification with Paraguay win over Chile. Chile won the last two Copa América and had a good campaign at the Confederations Cup, but somehow can't translate that sucess to the qualifiers.

The medal table also counts two events for Team Classification in Diving: Men's Team Classification Gold Silver Bronze Women's Team Classification Gold Silver Bronze

+ Team events: Women's Team Half Marathon Gold Silver Bronze Men's Team Half Marathon Gold Silver Bronze

Apparently there was also medals for Teams in Race Walk, although they're not on the results site. Men's Team 20km Race Walk Gold Silver Bronze Women's Team 20km Race Walk Gold Silver Bronze ???

Very nice, Brendel (for those who don't know, Isaquias named his first son, which was born yesterday, Sebastian)

I was about to ask when he will finally finish his studies

A 4th place in Weightlifting and 2 bronze medal bouts lost in Judo. Just a typical day for Brazil

Maybe in a few days...

Brazil has qualified to the Women's World Championship after a win against Colombia in the final match of the South American Championship (25/23, 25/19, 25/17). Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Venezuela will fight for the other CSV spot at the qualification tournament.

I don't think it will ever host sport events again because that's not the purpose of the Sambodrome - which, I guess, was simply picked for Archery/Marathon for being the "home of Carnival". Good idea, but people are already posting things here from time to time.

Good article from an Archery reporter 1 year after Rio. https://worldarchery.org/news/151526/1-year-later-journalist-rio-2016

Is this the results site of the Southeast Asian Games of there's another one? This one is awful.
