everybody said that the expectations were so low that of course the Olympics surpassed them
you have bigger problems
but the Olympics wasn't one
anyways a few records were broken and a few dutch bycicles as well. that's memorable
Olympics and World Cup in Brazil = Potemkin Village.

It didn't prove anything, it didn't change anything. If anything it only showed to the world how hypocrite Brazilians really are. The world has seen the true nature of Brazilians.
>Olympics happened in one of the most volatile cities in the country
>muh Potemkin
Retard.
Barra da Tijuca has some of the most expensive houses in the entire country, you ignorant fuck. As a matter of fact, Barra da Tijuca has a penthouse that is the Top 10 most expensive penthouse on PLANET EARTH.
That place always had heavy security, luxury houses and luxury cars.
No, those lines were drawn a long time ago.
1st world = NATO and her allies
2nd = Warsaw Pact countries
3rd world = everyone else
OK? It already existed before and the Olympics happened outside it.
You don't seem to understand what a Potemkin village really is, the WC is an even bigger example of your fallacious argument since it happened in several different cities.
And no, increasing security during a big international event doesn't make it Potemkin.
>muh cold war
Read on the modern usage of the term.

You don't want to be second world, that's Chinese and Russians.
Be first world with America, Canada, and Europe.
The Olympics were 6/10 and are considered to be one of the worst in modern history.
The robbings, green water, and cruddy ending ceremony hurt it.
Can't think of anything that stood out. Almost no new world records were made.
>Can't think of anything that stood out
told you already, dutch bicycle crashes were hilarious
also didn't you support Phelps overpassing Leonidas of Crete?
Rio was way more fun than London, full of great sporting moments.
>also didn't you support Phelps overpassing Leonidas of Crete?
I could care less about waterslap.
anything was better than London, even Atlanta
and Atlanta was crappier than Los Angeles
Fun != better
London and Brazil were both 6/10.
Beijing and Sydney were 9/10 for me.
who are the second world in the modern usage of the term?
I just wasn't excited about the olympics this time. I managed to watch Phelps get his medals live in 08, and 12 was pretty fun and in nice London. Maybe it was all the bad press but I wasn't excited this time so the only thing I managed to watch was women's diving and that was into disgusting green pool water.. So 2/10 compared to all the olympics I've watched.
Reached its developmental peak but is still shit.
Brazil has first-world birth rates and stagnated development but we never got anywhere.
a-at least you have nice bunda and soccer. some cunts don't have even that
>London
>nice
are you yankin' mah crank?
it was a borefest
>borefest
that's from BARCELONA 2012 you dofus. the World Championship, not that shitty Olympics
>host event that cost 38 billion reais full of shining lights in a millionaire villa with the entire professional Brazilian army surrounding it
>foreigners are somehow supposed to be impressed by the success
This is the very definition of a Potemkin village.
Definition of Potemkin village
: an impressive facade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition
Brazil is a smelly shithole with a broken economy. Lula bought the WC and Olympics to impress the rest of the world. Did it work? Pic related: No.
>football can be played anywhere, even in the middle of the street if needed
>football players stay in 5 star luxury hotels with armed guards on the entrance
What exactly can go wrong in a situation like this?
...
>athletes should stay in local motels and play sports in the streets
>security in the Olympics? TRUE first world nations don't need that!
I understand the World Cup because it's good and fun. But why host the Olympic? It's boring and no one cares.
It's comfier than world cup imo. Too much tension and suspense in soccer tournaments compared to olympics events.
disgusting
Rio qts were more qts
I only managed to see a couple qts
at least only first world nations got better positions than us in this olympics
...
>russia
plenty of webms in Sup Forums, go check them
Thanks. She looks like a nice qt.
so what?
>first world
whatever, you understood what I was trying to say
>2013
Those were the times, man. Fucking OPEC.
What will Norway do now?
Hungary and China aren't first world either asshat. They were Soviet Union alignment.
This is most of the oil money we saved up. It's enough to put every Norwegian on neet bux.
>40% NORTH AMERICA
Holy shit, Hungary doesnt even have 10 million people. How are they above you??
Our official plan is to quickly transition from service based economy into mountain jew economy.
