- Story Text: Planning for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil was well underway on Monday (December 3) as some 30 international representatives of national Olympic committees met for the first time with Brazil's 2016 Olympic Organising Committee.
The group toured several venues for Olympic events, including the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon where many of the boat races will take place.
Jan Hrdina represents the Czech Republic's Olympic committee. He said he hoped to learn details in the meeting.
"We expect we will be familiar more with the whole situation here where the sport venues are located, Olympic Village and how the conditions will be for the athletes, for our accommodation, additional accommodation and for long time planning," he said.
The group will spend the next two days looking at other venues and then will return home to report to their committees. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
