Rio Olympics 2016 will kick off on Friday, August 5 in what promises to be a spectacular show of fire and lights (as seen in the leaked images on social media). Olympics 2016 will mark the first time the Games are held in South America.
The organising authorities for the Games have had to deal with a number of engineering and administrative challenges, prompting some people to call the Olympics 2016 as the worst ever (though the spot has other worthy contenders).
As the Opening Ceremony for Rio Olympics 2016 draws closer, have a look at this infographic prepared by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) detailing the engineering challenges faced during the preparation of the most spectacular show of sports on Earth.
