Regards from sunny Rio de Janeiro. My first visit to Brazil.

Barra da Tijuca will host most of the venues of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016. … including all the Gymnastics disciplines at Cidade Olimpica.

Click PLAY or watch the official video Cidade Olimpica video on YouTube.

It’s not at all finished. And, just a few months before the Games, I wandered the place alone, very few workmen to be seen.

I’m not at all confident this place will be ready. They should be working 24/7 on it right now.
