Summer Olympic Games advertising. Twenty Olympic records in Rio de Janeiro

The Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) will take place in 2016 and will be held from August 5 to 21. This Olympics is notable because it will be the first Olympic Games that South America will host. And now, among the unconquered continents, not counting Antarctica, only Africa remains, which has never hosted this large-scale event.

How Rio became the capital

Eight cities initially competed for the 2016 Olympics, but four finalists were selected for the final vote: Madrid (Spain), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Tokyo (Japan) and Chicago (USA). The selection of the capital took place in Copenhagen (Denmark) at the 121st IOC session on October 2, 2009.

Voting took place in the maximum number of rounds - three. And only in the first round there was an intense struggle among the candidate cities, in which Madrid won by a slight margin over the rest. The second and third rounds were held with the clear advantage of Brazilian Rio de Janeiro, which was declared the capital of the XXXI Olympic Games.

Jacques Rogge announces Rio de Janeiro as the capital of the 2016 Olympic Games.

Note that this was not Rio’s first attempt to host the Olympics. Rio de Janeiro submitted bids to host the Summer Olympics in 1936, 1940, 2004 and 2012, but was never even included in the final vote.

Conditions

The competition will take place during the calendar winter in South America. The temperature during this period ranges from +18 to +25 °C. The time difference between Moscow and Rio de Janeiro is 6 hours. The climate is hot and humid, a bit like.

Competition program

At the same IOC session, when Rio became the capital of the Games, it was decided to include rugby sevens and golf in the Olympic program, which are not new to the Games, but their absence has been measured for many decades. Golf returned to the program after 112 years, and rugby after 92 years. Thus, this did not greatly change the competitive program of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics compared to previous summers.

Olympic venues

The organizers divided the competition venues into four zones: Barra, Deodoro, Maracana, Copacabana.

Deodoro

Deodoro, a former military base, will host competitions in equestrianism, modern pentathlon, fencing, rowing slalom, cycling (mountain biking and BMX) and shooting.

Maracana

The Maracanã competition zone is named so because its central facility will be the Maracanã Stadium, one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. It will host the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as football competitions. In addition to Rio de Janeiro, other Brazilian cities will host football competitions - Brasilia, Salvador, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte. Other Maracana facilities will include the Maracanazinho Arena (volleyball) and the João Havelange Stadium (athletics).

Maracana Stadium is an arena for football matches, opening and closing ceremonies.

Copacabana

In the Copacabana zone, mainly competitions related to water will take place, because Copacabana is a sea beach, one of the most famous in the world:

• – Sailing;
• – Open water swimming;
• – Triathlon;
• – Rowing sports.
• – Walking and marathon;
• – Cycling (road);

Mini-Olympic villages will be built for journalists in the areas of Barra, Maracana and Deodoro.

There is less than a year left to wait until the opening of the next Summer Olympic Games. The main sports competitions of the four-year anniversary will start on August 5, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro at the Maracanã stadium. For the first time, the Olympics will be held in South America.

Summer Olympics 2016were far from the first application for holding this type of competition in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro previously competed to host the Olympics in 1936, 1940, 2004 and 2012. Attempts to host the main Games were successful for only the fifth time for Rio. In addition to Brazil, Madrid (Spain), Tokyo (Japan) and Chicago (USA) also competed for the right to host the XXXI Summer Games. Interestingly, at the first stage, St. Petersburg also competed for the opportunity to host the Summer Olympic Games. However, in the summer of 2007, after the city of Sochi received the right to host the 2014 Winter Games, the northern capital withdrew from this race.

NUMBERS

The Summer Olympic Games in sunny Brazil will take place from August 5 to 21. August in this country is considered calendar winter. The air temperature here at this time is from +18 to +25 degrees. In Rio de Janeiro, August is the coldest and windiest month of the year, but at the same time one of the sunniest (22 days of clear weather). The opening ceremony of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games will begin on August 5 at 18:00 local time (in the Southern Urals - 2 am). According to the tradition that began at the 1996 Games, it will be Friday.

Feature of the upcoming Olympics will be a return to the official program after a long absence of such sports as rugby sevens and golf. The last time rugby competed at the Summer Games was 92 years ago, golf has not been considered an Olympic sport for the last 112 years.

According to the organizers, in the upcoming competitions over 10 thousand athletes will take part, which will represent 205 countries of the world. Athletes will play 306 sets awards in 42 types. The largest number of medals - 47 sets (23 for women, 24 for men) will go to track and field athletes.

Official cost of preparing for the Olympics in Brazil today is $2.9 billion. The amount differs significantly from the originally announced - 1.8 billion. The organizers attributed the significant increase to inflation, the addition of new species to the program and an unforeseen increase in costs for the development of the Olympic village.

SYMBOLS OF RIO 2016

Emblem of the XXXI Olympic Games, according to its creators, symbolizes Rio de Janeiro itself. The symbol of the future Games is based on the three colors of the national flag of Brazil, and the winding lines represent the sea, sun, mountains and silhouettes of people dancing together.

The characters represent collective images of the rich flora and fauna of a tropical country. The Olympic mascot was depicted as a smiling yellow animal, Vinicius, similar to a cat. Tom, resembling a cross between a flower and a tree, is the mascot of the Paralympic Games, the personification of Brazilian flora.

OLYMPIC FLAME

Notes
* – schedule according to Moscow time. Moscow time is indicated everywhere.

Please note that broadcasts at night Moscow time in our schedule refer to the previous day. For example, competitions taking place in Moscow from August 6 to August 7 are indicated on August 6. In addition, the calendar shows the start time of the morning and evening competition program.

The Games will begin in Rio de Janeiro on August 5, 2016. They are accompanied by scandals, incredible incidents and discoveries, reports Like-A. All the most interesting things are here:

1. These are the first Olympic Games in South America.

2. For the first time, athletes from 206 countries will come to Rio to compete for 306 sets of medals in 42 disciplines in just 17 days.

3. The Olympics will be held in four places and in only one city - Rio de Janeiro: Deodoro, Barra, Copacabana and Maracana.

4. A record number of athletes of all time will come to Rio. It would take a squadron of 21 Airbuses to transport all of the nearly 11,000 Olympic participants to Rio at the same time.

5. In addition to Kosovo and South Sudan, recently accepted into the world sports community, a team of European immigrants will probably take part in Brazil for the first time - under the banner of the IOC.

6. The number of medal sets being played will reach 306 for the first time.

7. About 140,000 people are involved in the Games. Of these, 90,000 are paid employees and another 50,000 are volunteers.

8. In Rio, prices for hotel rooms have increased by about 3.5 times; now only 14% of official rooms remain available.

9. An unprecedented boom in reactions to the Games in social media is expected.

The London 2012 Games were the first to take place in the age of social media. 10 million tweets alone were posted each day of the Olympics. The IOC expects about 3.6 billion viewers for the Rio Games, of which more than three billion will use “second screen” devices while watching the competition - that's the entire population of China, India and the United States combined.

10. Brazilian footballer Neymar now tops the list of athletes with the most followers taking part in the Olympics. It is likely that interest in football will dominate in Brazil as well.

Phelps has won 18 gold medals over the past three Olympics, seven more than all Brazilian athletes.

12. 32 tons of dead fish will be removed from the bay, where competitions in some sports will be held.

Water pollution is a serious problem in the run-up to the Games. A team of 60 people cleans the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon of dead fish every day.

13. A total of about 7.7 million tickets will be sold in Rio.

Unstable political conditions, a downturn in the economy and concerns over the Zika virus have contributed to the decline in ticket sales. But organizers are optimistic: historically, Brazilians tend to buy tickets at the last minute.

14. For the first time, the Games in Russia will be shown on three TV channels.

The Brazilian Olympics will be broadcast in full by three federal Russian channels - Channel One, Rossiya 1 and Match TV. According to the established order, the opening ceremony will be shown on the second button, and the festive closing - on the “First”.

The grand opening of the 2016 Games will take place on August 5, and the closing ceremony of the forum will take place on August 21, with both events starting at the same time - at 18.00 Moscow time.

15. For the first time, the Games are complicated by a disease - the Zika virus.

The outbreak of this disease in Brazil in winter worried doctors so much that experts signed a letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) asking to move the Olympics to another location.

The virus is spread by tropical mosquitoes. The bite results in a mild fever, rash and conjunctivitis. But complications happen. As a result, WHO considered that the situation did not require such drastic measures. Moreover, judging by reports from Brazil, the peak of the epidemic has passed.

16. The Sambodrome is the most unusual Olympic arena in history.

Seven hundred meters of the street, turned into a stadium, every year becomes the center of carnival madness, gathering more than 80 thousand spectators in the stands. During the Olympics, archers will compete here, as well as marathon runners will start and finish.

17. Golf is a new Olympic sport.

The Summer Olympics have gone without golf for 112 years, but Rio 2016 will feature it. True, the golfers themselves are cool about the tournament in Rio. But for Russian Maria Balikoeva (Verchenova before her marriage), the Olympics are the main goal of the season.

18. A 41-year-old, still Soviet, gymnast will perform in Rio! I'm not kidding.

Oksana Chusovitina won her first Olympic medal in 1992, when she was 16 years old. In Rio, at her seventh Olympics, 41-year-old Chusovitina will represent her native Uzbekistan and become the oldest gymnast in history.

In this sport, 25-year-olds are considered pensioners. And Oksana, at 33, won silver at the 2008 Olympics, competing for Germany, a country that helped her care for her son, who was ill with leukemia. In Rio, the athlete plans to take a medal in her signature event - the vault.

19. For the first time, the Russian Olympic team was reduced by almost a third.

Jul 24 2016 at 1:04 PDT

More than 110 members of the Russian delegation, consisting of 387 athletes, were suspended from participation in the Rio Olympics after the publication of a report by the World Anti-Doping Agency WADA.

20. Each participant in the Rio Games will receive 42 condoms - this is a historical record.

CNN reports that never before have so many condoms been ordered for the Olympics.

Well, as a bonus: the Russian flag is depicted on the US Olympic team uniform - also a record of its kind.
