Following in the unfortunate footsteps of the 2014 Winter Games’ host and earning the similar troll nickname and trending topic (“Sochi Problems”), Rio’s been subject to myriad criticism surrounding not only its preparations and execution as Rio Olympics host city, but has also become a bastion of what is wrong across Brazil.
The ongoing Rio Olympics has been hit by several violent incidents, including an attempted mugging which left two people dead here on Saturday.
Security for spectators and athletes was and continues to be a topic of great concern. Roughly 500,000 foreign visitors are expected to converge on Rio de Janeiro throughout the 19 days, and there are about 85,000 police and soldiers on hand, more than double the security for London.
While the Rio Games may have their share of difficulties, problems surrounding the Olympics are often exaggerated and some issues are clearly outside of the organizers’ control. Such grandiose and ambitious events can’t help but be subjected to some troubles along the way and many complaints can be rather petty.
