Olympic venues in Rio appear to be in ruins just a few months after the end of the Games

Brazil spent $2.5 billion on facilities, and is saddled with this.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympic and Paralympic Games were less than six months ago, but the facilities at Olympic Park are already beginning to rot.

The Olympic Park cost the country of Brazil $2.5 billion, and it was expected to last and be used for sporting events in the future for various sporting events. Several buildings have already deteriorated and the swimming pool looks unusable.

 

Athens, Beijing and Sochi all experienced similar issues in the months following the Olympics. Brazil hosted the World Cup and Olympics back-to-back, and both negatively affected crime and the economy in the area.
