A little over a month to the start of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the Rio City Hall published a new gallery of photos of the Barra Olympic Park. The venue, stage of 16 Olympic and 9 Paralympic sports is already showing its final looks, with which it will play host to the world's best athletes starting on 6 August, the first day of competitions, after the opening ceremony the day before.

Ninety-nine per cent of construction works have been finished. Provisional structures may be seen already, like the Rio 2016 Committee MegaStore, the big support tends and warm-up pools of the Water Stadium.

Last Sunday, the Velodrome was delivered to the Rio 2016 Committee, the only pending facility. In addition to the Velodrome and the Water Stadium, the Olympic Park is also home to the Tennis Centre, the Futuro Arena, the three Arenas Cariocas, as well as the International Broadcast Centre (IBC), the Main Press Centre (MPC) and the hotel. The temporary stands at the Tennis Centre, which add to 5 thousand seats, are well on the way. The venue will also host the Paralympic tennis and 5-a-side football.

Investments

The Olympic Park was built through two partnerships. A public-private-partnership (PPP), between City Hall and the Rio Mais Group, enabling the building and maintenance (for 15 years) of the Olympic Park infrastructure, in addition to Arenas Cariocas 1, 2 and 3, the MPC, the IBC, the hotel and infrastructure at the Olympic Villa (which was also put up in Barra).

To enable the building of the other venues – Water Stadium, Tennis Centre, Velodrome and Futuro Arena -, City Hall has signed a technical cooperation agreement with the federal government. The federal government came up with the resources and the municipality was in charge of construction works.
