The main event of the planet's sports life - the Summer Olympic Games in August 2016 will bring together thousands of athletes, coaches and fans in Brazil.
As part of the XXXI Olympiad, which will be held for the first time in South American Brazil from August 5 to 21, 2016, judokas will compete for medals for the 13th time. After a triumphant performance in London, everyone in Rio is waiting for new victories from the Russians. As always, fans of the flexible path will be among the first to reveal the champions and prize-winners of the 2016 Games. The tournament will be held from 6 to 12 August. Every day, throughout the week, the winners of awards in one weight for men and one for women will be determined.
At this time in Brazil, the calendar winter and the temperature ranges from +18 to +25 °C. But since judo competitions are held indoors, judo athletes should not have problems. The 2013 World Cup held in Rio was held on the site of the Maracanazinho sports complex, which is next to the world-famous football Maracana. However, at the 2016 Games, judo will receive a new place of residence. The competitions will be held in the Olympic hall number 2 in the Barra da Tijuca area, where the Olympic village, the Olympic park, the main press center and the television center will be located. This is the western part of the city, surrounded by lagoons, mountains and parks, which should make Barra a cozy place for athletes and guests of the Games. In addition to judoists, representatives of another 14 sports will compete here: boxing, table tennis, badminton, weightlifting, three types of gymnastics, cycling, water sports, basketball, fencing, taekwondo, wrestling, handball, golf and tennis. According to the project, the capacity of the stands is ten thousand seats.
According to the plan of the Brazilian government, the Barra region will greatly benefit from hosting the Games on its territory: after all, sports facilities and educational institutions, new shops, residential and entertainment centers have been built here, and transport infrastructure has been improved. In addition, rehabilitation programs will be carried out in parks and river networks. In Barra, after the Games, the Olympic Training Center with 40,000 sq.m. areas, two training grounds for 12 Olympic sports, nutrition, rehabilitation, sports and clinical medicine areas, and a research laboratory unique in South America.
The promised metro in the Barra da Tijuca area, where the Olympic Park and the Olympic Village are located, the city authorities will not have time to open, therefore, a route of high-speed buses (BRT) is being urgently carried out, which travel along a dedicated lane, which should make it easier for spectators of the competition to get to sports arenas . Traffic in Rio de Janeiro is one of the most pressing issues in the city that Olympic guests need to be prepared for.
In March 2016, test competitions were held in Rio, which are mandatory for all sports and all venues where the Olympic tournaments will be held. It fell to the judokas to check the readiness of Rio de Janeiro for the Games on March 8 and 9. Competitions were held on two tatami new arena"Carioca 1" (Carioca 1), which is located in the Olympic Park. Carioca - this word in Brazil refers to everything that comes from Rio de Janeiro. In the Olympic Park, three sports palaces at once bear this name and differ only in numbers - 1, 2 and 3. During the Games, judokas will compete in Karyoka 2, and the sports palace where the test competitions took place will become home for basketball players. The three Cariocas look like twins, only the first palace is slightly larger.
Hypothetically, 16,000 spectators could watch the test competitions: that is how many people the stands of the Carioca 1 arena can accommodate. Of course, there were much fewer fans: the tournament was not of status and had much more significance for the organizers than for the participants and spectators. However, the support was warm. The guys from the local judo sections, who made up the vast majority in the stands, cheered furiously and enthusiastically, especially worrying about their comrades. More than 120 athletes from seven countries took part in the competition: Brazil, France, Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Hungary and Lebanon. The Russian team did not take part in the tournament. Nine medals of test competitions were won by the hosts of the tournament. Mostly they were young athletes - medalists of the Youth World Championships and the Olympic Games, who in a few years will replace the current leaders of the national team. For them, it was at this tournament that preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Games began. The tournament made it possible to test the competition area, the operation of electronic scoreboards, locker rooms and other services for athletes, the organization of work with spectators, as well as the work of the entire team, including volunteers at this facility.
If for athletes the main souvenir from Rio should be the Olympic medal, then for the fans the mascots of the Olympics and Paralympics - Vinicius and Tom - will be memorable. Vinicius is the mascot of the Olympic Games, an animal that looks like a cat and a monkey at the same time. In fact, he has collected the features of all the animals of Brazil and personifies the fauna of the country. Tom is the mascot of the Paralympic Games, a funny, friendly tree with a bushy crown on its head, personifies all the rich flora of Brazil. They got their names in honor of the legendary natives of Brazil - Vinicius de Morais, poet and songwriter, and Tom Jobim, composer, singer and one of the founders of the bossa nova musical style. Their most famous creation is the song “Garota de Ipanema” (“Girl from Ipanema”), which, without exaggeration, the whole world knows (the English version of the song was once performed by Frank Sinatra) and is strongly associated with Rio de Janeiro and its famous beaches.
For Russians, flying to Rio will not be easy - there is no direct flight from Russia to Brazil, so delegates will have to travel to South America with transfers in Europe, and some even with a stop in Sao Paulo. Rio has a different climate and time zone. Brazil, which is one of the five richest countries in the world in terms of population, area, wood reserves, fresh water and mineral deposits, has a fairly serious position in the world of judo. In this Latin American there are more than three million fans of the flex way.
