Summer is over for Brazil’s 'marvelous city.' In a series of weird and depressing new photos released last week, the 2016 Summer Olympic venues in Rio de Janeiro are seen filthy and deserted just 6 months after the end of the games, including the legendary Maracana Stadium. In a city that hoped desperately to be lifted out of poverty and debt by making back the money they spent, these are the ruins of a shattered dream.
Rio 2016 was boiled in scandal before it had even begun, including a Zika virus outbreak, reports of doping by Russian athletes, and the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff due to corruption. The second largest city in Brazil is millions of dollars in debt with international creditors, and now also owes over 900 thousand dollars to a local energy company.

Murky pools, worn terrain, and vandalisation can be found all over the Olympic Park. Seats have been torn from the once-iconic arena. The future of these shockingly neglected buildings remains uncertain, but they’re unlikely to be a high priority among Rio’s long list of coming challenges.

brazil are worst off than nigeria when it comes to maintanence,just imagine waste of billions

This is too bad

Ita not just Brazil or Nigeria that has poot maintenance culture.. most countries do. the sport facilities there are rotting off simply because there are no people to use them. Even in England, there are some already decaying stadiums.

The Brazilian authorities just need to allocate the stadiums to some sports team in the country. Like south Africa did after the world cup
