adminRIO DE JANEIRO. — Rio will stage a great Olympics, as long as it sorts out “millions” of details first, the head of an IOC fact-finding mission said on Wednesday.
She even promised to dive into the filthy bay where the sailing events will take place.
“Brazil is showing the entire world that it can deliver a great Olympic Games,” Nawal El Moutawakel, head of the International Olympic Committee’s Coordination Commission, told a Press conference in Rio. She said volleyball, triathlon, rowing and riding test events have passed off with no “major problems.” Dozens more competitions designed to check the city’s infrastructure are still to come, with sailing tests starting on the scenic, Guanabara Bay this Saturday. — AFP.
