Paralympic games to still go ahead as Rio OC gets more state funding
Not really doing anyone any favours there. Sets a massive example now to the bodies that award the games in the future to do due diligence when selecting a host. I'm sure Damien's right though, they clearly didn't give a crap, they've had to have known ages ago they'd never make this event work.
In terms of events it's been great, for the Olympics anyway. The fact half of the venues were still having work done to them a week before and up to the opening ceremony though tells a different story away from stuff on the field. Stuff like knocking down the favelas and shifting people so they wouldn't look a mess in front of the rest of the world. I reckon the best comparison is you sweeping all your rubbish into the cupboard whilst your mate comes round
So anyway, Paralympics will go ahead with reduced facilities, minimal ticket sales and whatever else they fancy throwing into it at the last minute, leaving no time for any real solution. The Paralympics have basically been shat on here.
So back to the track then. Bolt again tore apart the track, was completely ridiculous. He had competitors level, slowed for the change and then just blew away, poor buggers beside him couldn't get anywhere near his speed.
