Rivers and lakes are dangerous to swim in, and only idiots do it, but nothing quite beats the thrill of being chased by a crocodile, or worse, annoying a hippo who are famously not chill at all.

    As a Brazilian, I am tired of seeing outdated misinformation about the state of Rio's Olympic Park. The pool in the famous photo no longer exists, because the arena was temporary and that was always the intention, as was the handball arena next door. So much so that they were dismantled and the structures were used to build schools in other cities. You know, Brazil is not just Rio.
    It is true that there was a problem in the following years with the mismanagement of former mayor Marcelo Crivela, but the other arenas in the Olympic park are still being used, and the olympic park has hosted the last five editions of Rock in Rio. In fact, the organizers announced a permanent venue and the construction of an amusement park on the site.

      On the contrary , I think the new administrative capital is a well-thought plan . First , the current capital is insanely crowded and the new one will act as both the administrative capital and financial hub of East Africa ! Secondly , Egypt has built many new cities and towns in the last decade because that sector has a lot of potential to generate economic growth , especially in a deserted land where Agriculture can't even feed the local population while at the same time the country faces unbelievable challenges to become an industrial hub ( wars are surrounding them from every corner : Libyan civil war in the west+ Sudanese civil war in south , Israel's wars in east and the war in Yemen+ they don't have access to any market while facing competition from the industrially advanced Southern Europe) and they can't rely on tourism because tourists are avoiding Egypt and the whole MENA region...so I can see why they bet a lot on this , they don't have any choice !

    They are building Olympic facilities but they haven't won any bids yet. We still have LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032. I am sure that IOC would rather choose Doha instead. An example of this is Baku, Azerbaijan.

      ​@@HALLish-jl5moAnd again, Doha already has these facilities they've built for the Asian Games 2006 and Arab Games and then succeeded World Sports Championships and World Cup. If they are going to give the hosting right to a Desert country, they would give it to the rich country with a track record of holding these events and proper facilities with a grassroot sports program. Hosting the Olympics is not just about the venues, it is also about their ability to commit to accommodations for athletes and audiences. Of course they would rather give it to a European country again or in non-Desert climate instead but if the choice is between this unnamed capital in Egypt or Doha, Qatar? They would surely choose Qatar. Especially when Egypt doesn't have that good of a reputation when it comes to tourism.

    The thing with building all those sport venues so close together is that its really only useful for the olympics.
    Since athletes and fans will generally only use one venue at a time, it would make much more sense to disperse the venues throughout the district.
    This way the economic benefits are more evenly distributed to restaurants, hotels etc, congestion during parallel events is reduced and athletes and coaches can more easily live close to their respective stadions and training facilities.
