Team

Organizing the Olympic and Paralympic Games is a major challenge for any country. It demands knowledge, commitment and effort across many areas. To fulfill the dream of all Brazilians, Rio has a team of professionals from diverse areas, with expertise in the organization of major sports events. Key members of the Rio 2016 team also worked on the highly-successful Rio 2007 Pan American and Parapan American Games.

President of the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the Organizing Committee of the Rio 2007 Games, Carlos Arthur Nuzman led the organization of the Rio 2007 Pan American Games – the best ever Pan American Games, according to Mário Vázquez Raña, the president of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO). This verdict was echoed by the leaders of many national Olympic committees that took part in the competition.

In 2007, Rio de Janeiro staged the Pan American Games and the Parapan American Games in succession, using the same facilities for both events. This model was praised by the leaders of the Americas Paralympics Committee (APC), and will be repeated for the Guadalajara 2011 Pan American Games.

Consequently, Rio de Janeiro is one of the few cities of the world to have the experience of organizing two major multi-sports events one right after the other, which reinforces the city’s bid for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The team preparing Rio’s 2016 bid is made up of former Olympic and Pan American athletes. The team fully understands the needs of athletes and their families.

The team also counts on international advisors and is supported by renowned consultants who have played major roles in organizing previous Olympic Games.
