[quote=Sky News]An Australian Paralympic sailor and official have been threatened with a gun and robbed before a race meet in Rio de Janeiro. Australian Sailing confirmed in a statement that athlete Liesl Tesch and team official Sarah Ross were confronted by two men while riding their bikes in a park near their hotel. One of the men was carrying a pistol and both Australians were threatened, Australian Sailing saying the pair were "unharmed, but understandably shaken".[/quote] - See more at: [url]http://www.skynews.com.au/news/national/national/2016/06/21/australian-paralympian-robbed-at-gunpoint.html#sthash.ckSXvwJ9.dpuf[/url]
Cant wait for the olympics to turn into a shit show this time around. Then maybe countries will stop building useless billion dollar stadiums for a single event.
It's already happening, fucking abort.
We're off to a stunning start, I see
And here we go.
I want to get out this country.
I was really fucking confused at first because I thought it said "Australian paraplegic sailor" and then I saw "while they were riding their bikes" and I asked myself why didn't they have wheelchairs. I guess in hindsight I should have wondered what the fuck a paraplegic person was doing [U]sailing[/U] of all things, but whatever. Glad they didn't get hurt, but too bad somebody stole their bikes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we pull our athletes out if anything more occurs.
Just like that brilliant idea of having the Pope visit Rio twice.
just, fucking cancel it,.

As if the spread of Zika isn't bad enough everyone is going to get jacked.
This is only going to get worse, everyone knows how bad a state Rio is at the moment.
If even one Athlete gets shot, the entire event will be over in an instant.

Whoever was responsible for deciding this was an OK venue should be prosecuted.
I can't believe they are really gonna go through with this.

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;50560765]I can't believe they are really gonna go through with this.[/QUOTE] We've got a huge portion of the people in poverty, I've got a great idea "let's host the Olympics and spend billions of dollars on a stadium that will rot away within a few years after the event." "What a great idea, what will this do for tourism?" "Oh it'll help line the pockets of the thriving region, whilst not really helping out at all, but hey at least there'll be more live leak video's on the latest mugging"
