With Rio Olympics only 100 days to start
with, Brazil, a country famous for doing last minute preparations is facing
twin challenges in economy and politics. Reports are that Brazil has already
prepared the games venues but is not sure about appearances.
Apart from economy and politics being the most
delicate issues in the country to deal with, the Brazilian President’s
‘fighting impeachment’ made the people ‘angry and distracted’.
According to reports, the Rio residents are not
paying added attention to the quadrennial extravaganza as ‘there are so many
other things to talk about.’ In the last four
years after Brazil was selected as the host country of Olympics 2016, with more
than 30 million people were lead to poverty making Brazil face a meltdown in
economy.
Even players, excited to represent their country in
the Olympics, said: “Brazil is going through a political crisis, and the
situation has still to sort itself out. I think we just need to
resolve the politics, and then people's attention will turn to sport.”
Apart from politics and economy, health and crime
are the officially declared issues impacting the Rio Olympics. With a massive
of Zika virus that caused widespread panic and death, athletes and players are
rejecting their names from the Olympics list.
Plus, drug and human trafficking, murder and other
criminal activities have now become common reasons to rebuff Rio’s prospects. A
government statistics showed that as many as 432 people were murdered in the
city in the first quarter of this year.
