"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. http://www.sfgate.com/olympics/article/Olympic-Village-problems-disasters-Rio-athletes-8405813.php |

Third world gonna third world.
It terrifies me that Embraers are built there. |

Add Zika to the top and I'd be staying in a tent in the airport in a MOPP suit.

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. |

Unpossible.
3rd world builders are good workers. Must be the architect's fault. Ask your neighbor who had that extension built by ___TRUMP HATERS____. Aloha, Mark |

I'd don't know why all the western world athletes refuse and go home.
To hell with globalism in any form |

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. |
|
You wouldn't think that people from a penal colony would be so damn picky. |
|
Hold the Olympics in a toilet and be surprised when you're surrounded by shitty conditions.........go figure.

A friend of mine will be rowing. I hope he doesn't die from that shit.
No,I literally hope he doesn't die chasing his Olympic dream paddling in a puddle of feces. |
|
I have an extra light bulb. Willing to trade for toilet flush handle.

I wish the US would just boycott this olympics. we shouldn't be playing along with this corruption.

Looks like Rio hasn't changed much since I was down there with the Navy in '72.

sounds like its gonna be worse than Sochi.
feel bad for the athletes |

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. |

By policy the Olympics should not be held in shitholes pretending to the modern western nations.
|
|
|
Remember that Muslim girl that's on the US fencing team, that's going to compete in a hijab?
It's gonna be ironic when she's the only one that doesn't come back with Zika because she kept covered. |
