Completion of the first test events in Rio

The overwhelming success of the Aquece Rio International Mountain Bike Challenge, held in Deodoro Olympic Park, marked the end of the first ‘wave’ of Rio 2016 test events.

Up to now, the organising committee tested its Olympic and Paralympic Games operations across 12 sports competitions, bringing more than 1,800 of the world’s top athletes to Rio to check out the venues and get into the spirit of the Games.
