Australia refuses to settle in the Olympic Village

The Villa will house the athletes that will compete in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro opened today and began to receive the first competitors, although he earned harsh criticism of the Australian delegation, considered the "uninhabitable" apartments.

The Australians refused for the moment to settle in the village after a piece of equipment problems detected electricity, water and gas and "very dirty" on the premises, according to the head of the delegation, Kittyv Chiller.

The mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, stoked the controversy after declaring, jokingly, that would put some kangaroos in facilities that Australians feel at home.

The Australian Olympic Committee refuted the statements of Paes and said that the delegation does not need babysitters "but a plumber to solve pools" that found "inside the apartments."

The 'mayor' of the town, the exjugadora of Brazilian basketball team Janeth said the facilities "are still not hundred percent" but hoped that everything will be "resolved" in the coming days.

"Claims are normal. The first day you arrive always find some problems. That happens in all great works, even indoors," said Janeth, silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Games and bronze in Sydney 2000.

After the incident, the Olympic Committee of Rio de Janeiro hired 500 officials against time to solve the problems identified so far.

The head of the mission of the Australian delegation said that the detected flaws "are serious", but hoped that athletes can be installed next Wednesday.

"In all the Olympic will have problems, but the problems really worried us today. It was a safety issue. The rooms had hydraulic problems in the system of gas and water. The combination could be dangerous," he said.

Some of the delegations that have already begun to settle in the Olympic village, besides Brazil, are from Italy , Germany and Canada , although it is expected that the number of athletes from other countries will increase in the coming days.

The condominium, consisting of 31 buildings and large green areas, courts for different sports and commercial, is in the neighborhood Barra de Tijuca, about three kilometers from the Olympic Park.

Julen Lopetegui, new coach of the Spanish football team

The Royal Spanish Football Federation announced Thursday the hiring of Julen Lopetegui as new coach of Spain . The Basque coach will be the heir of Vicente Del Bosque , who decided not to renew his contract after eight years in office.

Lopetegui, who began his career in the dugout in the Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid Castilla, and worked for some years as coach of the federation between 2010 and 2014, which was coach of the Under-19 categories, Sub- 20 and U-21.

Lazio has only 11 subscribers for a stadium of 70,000 spectators

The Italian team lives as grim moment until his own hobby is giving back to new levels.

Despite always live in the shadow of Rome , much more popular in the Italian capital (rather than on the periphery), the Lazio can be considered one of the biggest teams in Italy . Two league titles in its history (which could become three if successful a very curious appeal presented to grant him a century after the title of 1915), abundant Italian Cups, one European title, years giving battle in Serie A and one important social mass (although somewhat linked to right - wing ideologies) are assets that can boast. Or at least he could so far as this last point is disputed by the unfortunate result of the season ticket campaign for the season will start.

The blanquicelestes opened their offices on Tuesday 19 July for partners to renew their identity cards of the season. That same day, at the time of closure of the offices, only 11 followers had done . The figure is unofficial, because shame the club has not made ​​them public; is known by the leak of an employee and confirmed by the silence of the leaders , when asked about it , and with no movement of fans who saw the press in the vicinity of the offices.

Whereas the Lazio play at home in the Olympic Stadium in Rome, with 72,698 seats available , it is safe to indicate that it is an absolute failure. And the main culprit seems to be the president of the organization, Claudio Lotito , who just celebrated his 12 years in office. Although has to his credit with the odd title (particularly highlights the Coppa Italia in 2013, which won in the end neither more nor less than the Roma), the fans are sick of it.

The leader accuse him of not being able to assemble a team up to the club . The main figures, as Candreva or Keita , intend to leave the template and spare parts that sound are not at all exciting; in fact, at this point it has not confirmed the signing of any new player. As little far this preseason, also has experienced a grotesque episode with the frustada hiring of Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa , who lasted only 48 hours in the place: almost as soon as he signed he left saying that they had not fulfilled some promises he did, including the arrival of at least four players before 5 July. Restore the position to Simone Inzaghi , a man of the house that interim coach and was in other times and on the lawn scored thirty goals for the Eagles , was intended to be sold as "recover the essence", but has rather given feeling botched emergency.

So nefarious considers the fans being the recent management Lotito has not only boycotted the renewal of fertilizers, but has flooded the city with graffiti against him and has even organized demonstrations to ask you to leave and "free Lazio". Last year, the Lazio finished in eighth place with only 54 points, 37 below the champion ( Juventus ) and 28 unless the hated Rome, and far from any option of entering European competitions . If there is a radical change in the coming weeks, the omens for this season are much worse.

photographs showing the reality of the Olympic Games

In October of 2009 the streets of Rio de Janeiro flooded celebrations. All little celebration was a dream that represented years of illusion: the city be chosen to organize the 2016 Olympic Games, the first in South America. A decision that definitively placed Brazil as the center of the sports world with the World Cup in 2014.

Through tears, the then President of Brazil Lula da Silva, the main promoter of the Olympic dream, proclaims that "these people deserved that opportunity. Having been colonized had the habit of being small, if not important" and confessed that day was "the most exciting of my life. I will start to work for the Olympic Games tomorrow, not after tomorrow, but tomorrow" he said.

It has already happened since that moment of euphoria and the country's situation is very different. The march of Dilma Rousseff. A sports minister in office. In the midst of an economic crisis. The insecurity. It seems that discouragement appropriates increasingly Brazilians, to the point that 50% oppose the Olympics and 63% think it will do more harm than good, as revealed by the newspaper O Globo.

As if this were not enough, a photograph circulating on social networks has filled the glut of Brazilians:



For many this picture clearly describes the reality of these Olympics: a vagrant sleeping next to a bridge where you can see the logo of Rio 2016 with a phrase that the author of the photograph Felipe Barcellos questioned: "A new world, insurance?".

Some questioned the veracity of the image, so also released a video where it is clear that there is no manipulation. Although it hurts, this is the reality of the country.



In May, a few weeks before leaving the presidency, Dilma Rousseff said that "Brazil will be able, living with a difficult period, critical for its history and democracy", of being "the best host the Olympic Games ever known" . And no doubt that the people will give the warmest of welcomes all athletes and spectators that accompany this great event.

The main question is what will happen when after the closing ceremony of the Paralympics the world stop looking at Brazil.
