Saturday, January 9, precisely 2,400 days are left until Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In the last three months, the Organizing Committee has already been preparing for the most important sport event in the planet. And, as the clock wont stop ticking, next steps have already been decided, and since the tuning of the year, the Games team has been working at full speed.
2010 will be a year of planning, organization and periodical meetings with the International Olympic Committee that will deliver to Rio 2016 Organizing Committee a set of documents that actually constitute the base on which the project will be built, that is, the various technical manuals and the general schedule of the Games, the president of Rio 2016 Organizing Committee Carlos Arthur Nuzman, explained.
Next week, the IOC Marketing department team will be in Rio to talk to Rio 2016 Organizing Committee, once the Commercial, Branding and Communication plans will be prepared in 2010, to define certain actions, such as, the sales of sponsorship quotas and product licensing.
In February, Rio 2016 Organizing Committee will be at the Vancouver Winter Games with a busy work agenda. A technical team will join the Observers Program to learn about the organization and operation of several areas. Meetings are also scheduled with representatives of London 2012 and Socchi 2014 Olympic Games. On the eleventh, at the IOC session, held before the official opening of the event, Rio 2016 Organizing Committee will present the first Progress Report on the organization of Rios Games.
All these actions are part of the work that started on October 3, less than 24 hours after Rio was elected to host 2016 Olympic Games, with meetings held Copenhagen, Denmark. By the end of the month of October, an Orientation Seminar was held by IOC in Rio, to discuss the structure, management and planning of the Games along the next seven years. During the seminar, IOC Olympic Games Director Gilbert Felli, praised Rio for being the host city to start faster the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
