Delays in venue construction gave the International Olympic Committee a fright in 2014. The government has since cleaned up its act and was praised recently for being "on the right track" , although the challenge of cleaning up the highly polluted waters of the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and Guanabara Bay—venues for the sailing and rowing competitions—remains.

Restaurants now know that using the Internet to translate the menu isn’t always a good idea: ’ bife a cava-lo’ isn’t really ’ horse steak’ —it’s beef with a fried egg on top!
Security was a key challenge in 2014—and during the Olympics, the police will be working hard to prevent street crime. As with other developing countries, crime rates are high, and visitors will be encouraged to keep their wits about them so as to avoid falling victim to pickpockets or muggers.
So while the Cariocas are already becoming athletes—by jumping and running across construction sites on their daily commute—they know that the Games have the potential to be a great spectacle , they will be able to let their hair down, and international visitors will have a good time in their company.
