Olympics-Unfinished velodrome is main concern 100 days from Olympics (Reuters)
The unfinished cycling arena is the biggest issue facing the Rio de Janeiro Olympics 100 days before the games begin, the city’s mayor said on Wednesday. The velodrome is only 85 percent ready and workers need another 30 to 40 days to finish the structure, meaning there will not be time for a proper test event before the games begin on Aug. 5. “The biggest problem, the biggest challenge and the job that gave us most problems and missed the deadline was the velodrome,” Mayor Eduardo Paes told reporters in Rio.
