From what I have seen, the famous beaches/ocean frontage in Rio have turned totally into a garbage dump with both physical garbage and smells in the air. I was last here 30 years ago, back when the beaches were pristine and the girls dressed in teeny tiny Bikinis. I assume there were also men dressed similarly in tiny suits, but don’t remember any.This visit, my takeaway is going to be that Rio has become a cesspool and aside from beach sweeping(which my small hometown on Michigans Gold Coast does twice a day to keep the tourists coming to the really clean beaches)they are doing nothing to stop the crap at its source. Are the sailors and swimmers really going out into that bay? You could not catch me anywhere near that, just because of the smell

Notice the male volleyballers wear baggy shorts and tank tops while the women wear speedos?

The original rules required the bikini bottoms to be no more than 2" wide at the side of the hips.

I wonder if they want someone to measure them.
