December has just started. Now we have a bit less than 9 months for the start of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Preparation for the games are in full swing at Barra da Tijuca and Deodoro. Some people, including myself, are surprised with the progress taking place at the constructions sites of these Olympic venues.

What has been done in Rio so far:

– 3 Carioca Arenas: 95% complete

– The Future Arena: 100% complete

– The Olympic Aquatics Stadium: 96% complete

– The International Broadcast Center: 100% complete

The Carioca Arena you see above will host 10 sports during the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year.

The International Olympic Commitee (IOC) was in Rio de Janeiro last week to check Rio’s preparation for the games.

The level of details are huge at the moment and this is one of the Commitees’ main concerns. Ministerial meetings were held to discuss different subjects. You can see more details of the Olympic preparation here.
