March 25th will mark the 500 day count down to the Rio Olympics. Brazil just pulled off the World Cup; next up is Rio’s 2016 Olympics, which poses an even bigger challenge.

While serious concerns remain over tight deadlines, the shortage of hotel rooms and severe water pollution at the sailing venue, the IOC said the World Cup has instilled a new sense of optimism in Brazil about organizing the first Olympics in South America.
