The wait is finally over and we are just days away from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. These games will surely be memorable, but will it be for all the wrong reasons?

In the months leading up to these games, there have been many concerns over whether or not Rio De Janeiro is prepared to host such a massive event. The problems seem to be endless, from the toxic water for aquatic sports, to poor living quarters for athletes, to health concerns, most notably over the Zika virus, these Olympics could prove to be a disappointment from the get-go.

To make matters worse, Brazil is going through one of its worst economic recessions in decades, as well as political turmoil regarding the recent impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.

Vital infrastructure projects that were supposed to prepare the city for the huge influx of people have been delayed, leaving one of the most congested cities in the world ill-equipped to provide transportation for the more that half a million tourists expected.

Security concerns were huge leading up to this tournament, as Rio De Janeiro has one of the worst violent crime rates in the world, and in a year marred by terrorist attacks the world over, the fear is that another ISIS-inspired attack may try to target the Olympics.

These concerns were only made worse when it was announced that Brazilian police would be taking over security for the Olympics, after the private firm contracted to do so did not hire enough staff in time for the Games. All this just a week before the Opening Ceremony.

Unfortunately, Rio de Janeiro may not have been the right choice to host the Olympics. Despite its fame and popularity with tourists, the truth of the matter is that Rio has serious problems with basic things such as sanitation, public health, transportation and public finances.

Add on to that the high crime rate, as well as precarious economic and political condition of the country at the moment, and you see a city that is just not ready to host an event such as the Olympics. Even some locals have been opposed to the Games being held in Rio, saying that the changes promised by the government have been purely superficial and will not benefit the citizens in the long run.

Hopefully, these issues won't cause any serious problems for the tournament itself, but the fear is that should problems arise, it would cast a dark stain on what should otherwise be remembered as a joyous event.
