As a spectator and not a competitor, I'd be far more concerned about the crime in Rio.
It's tough to know what's really going on with their crime (given our sensationalist media and my not living there)... but you couldn't pay me enough money to go to the 2016 Olympics.

- MicroBerto 10y agoI know you're messing around, but that's a lot of unnecessary risk for a reward that I can just delay for four or eight years when the Olympics are in a reasonable country.
- DanGarcia595 10y agoRio can be a bad place. When I went to Rio for the world Cup, my taxi driver from the airport told me that at night we would not stop at red lights for fear of being robbed. The ticket he would get would be less money would be less than the money he made that night. That being said, I stayed on the boardwalk of copacabana Beach at a hotel and there was never a problem day or night. If you stay in the tourist sections, the post guards and the area is very safe
