RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Less than six month after Rio de Janeiro hosted the first-ever Olympics in South America, game venues sit idle and already in disrepair, raising questions about a legacy that organizers promised would benefit the Brazilian city and its residents.
"We thought this would be for us," said Alex da Silva Ferreira, a mechanic who walked with his 7-year-old son past the locked gate of what was supposed to be a park in Deodoro, a neighbourhood that hosted canoeing and mountain bike competitions. "It's been closed this entire time."
