The IOC has reportedly not yet faced the gravity of a crisis such as this Rio Olympics trouble. It has since then been compared to the preparations of the Games in Athens in 2004, where construction reportedly continued until the very last minute.
At the beginning of April, sports federations early on demanded a back-up plan to Rio because of the Rio Olympics trouble posing constant delays. IOC president Thomas Bach even sent Olympic Games director Gilbert Felli as a troubleshooter to solve the Rio Olympics trouble.
Bach said, "It is about time for action. We share their concerns. We will address them. We will do everything we can do make these Games a success."
Rio Olympics trouble may seem alarming for sports federations, but Rio's mayor Eduardo Paes defended their city saying that sports federations were making unnecessary demands and he said he will not give in to the pressure.
