adminLONDON. — The International Olympic Committee shot down rumours last week that the 2016 Summer Olympics, currently scheduled to be hosted in Rio de Janeiro, will make an emergency move to London if preparations in Brazil continue to stall.
A report came out on Friday morning alleging that the IOC recently approached officials in London about resurrecting their lightly used venues from the 2012 Games if the plans for Brazil never pan out.
“An informal approach was made by Olympics bosses to discover whether enough venues from the triumphant 2012 London Games could be brought back into use,” The London Evening Standard reported. — AFP.
