"We decided to do a "stress test" where taps and toilets were simultaneously turned on in apartments on several floors to see if the system could cope once the athletes are in-house,"AOC chef de mission Kitty Chiller told the Sydney Morning Herald. "The system failed. Water came down walls, there was a strong smell of gas in some apartments and there was "shorting" in the electrical wiring. "
In addition, blocked toilets, leaking pipes (some in areas with electrical wiring), a lack of light fixtures in stairwells and "dirty floors in need of a massive clean" have been identified as problems.

LOL.  The Rio infrastructure implosion is going to be more fun to watch than the games.  What the hell did people expect from a 2.5 world country?  Favelas with lipstick.

Didn't the Aussie contingent complain during the Olympic games in Japan because they weren't supplied with condoms that were a big enough size?


Those pesky details that the IOC misses.

What a giant clusterfuck.  Gotta feel sorry for the athletes who worked so hard to get to that point, and then to have to spend there time in a sewage infested dump.  

No doubt NBC will be telling us soon how perfect everything is down there.  A wonderful Olympics!  Please tune in to our 5,000 hrs of coverage so we don't have to reimburse all our advertisers!

I've never understood why we don't build an Olympic venue somewhere and just have the Olympics there everytime.
I know it's a big deal for countries to host them but it's a huge waste of money recreating these venues every 4 years.
This is an example of what you get doing that also.

I listen to the radio maybe once a week as I drive my truck to work and they have all these fluff advertisements about the olympics.

Phelps and some no name female talking about how great it is and a unique experience.

I just shake my head and laugh.

Phelps next kid will make a naturally talented great swimmer when he has a no headed Zika baby.  Will probably be like the Coneheads daughter diving into the pool.

Because the olympics are fun and a pinnacle of competition and achievement. Maybe you're content with Wisconsin now, always, and forever. But lots of people like that whole new experiences and places thing.

I saw that they are putting 42 condoms in each room. Olympics of a different kind I assume.
