Quote:Out of all my years of watching the olympics, Rio has had to been the worst host.. Everything from the opening ceremony, to the maintenance of the diving pool, to security for athletes and fans.. Total disaster and I can't wait for it to end.. Just boring all around..

 

I think the problem is that Brazil are so useless at most sports that they can't get in to them as non of the locals have a hope. Also with a very poor population most can't go anyway. Was never going to be as good as London.

 

I've seen every olympics from 92 and would rank them:

 

Barcelona (Was my first olympics - So undeservadly top. Also one of the worlds great looking cities)

London (Basically perfect hosts in a great world city)

Sydney (Same as above)

Beijing (spectacular and different)

Athens (The spiritual home)

Atlanta (Nothing wrong with the games as such - but a boring city to host)

Rio (City looks great on tv - shame the hosting is terrible)
