And first impressions of people visiting the Rio Olympics have been less than stellar, too. Christine Brennan, from USA Today, wrote, "Actually, this city is exactly as advertised: massive, intriguing, concerning and, from a first glance, entirely overwhelmed. The Olympic Park in the Barra area, home to the Main Press Center, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles, has all the ambience of a slapdash construction job... Far more troubling is what’s going on with security in the athletes village. A fire broke out in the Australian delegation’s apartments the other day, and after evacuating, several athletes returned to find their computers and clothes had been stolen."
