I can appreciate the Olympic committee tries to spread the games around to the less well to do countries(politically troubled as well). But it's nothing but a disaster. The russian winter Olympic was the worst winter Olympic I have watched. Little snow, tropical freaking plants near venues, cross country skiing in t-shirts, low attendance, never mind the state sponsored doping. Now Rio is looking like a disaster film, from killer bugs to bacteria, political instability to disasters of biblical proportions. waiting for the locust, there just has has to be locust for this finale. Anyway, bring the damn things somewhere financially and politically stable.
