Traditionally, residents of Brazil are skeptical about the idea of holding large-scale international events. Foreigners have a different view of the city known for its crime and dangerousness

“Drug dealers attacked the National Guards. Sportsmen are being robbed. Do not call this an isolated incident; it is a case of insecurity.”

“Beautiful contest, wonderful places. Bad security situation and money theft have not changed. In the end, it's Rio de Janeiro.”

Organizers: theft of athletes will not affect Rio 2016 image. Comment: of course, no. Money theft in Rio is a daily occasion.

“Despite the progress, dirt and debris is unacceptable in the Guanabara Bay.”

“I want to thank Rio residents for a wonderful event. Citizens will probably pay for it for the next 50 years.”
