We have tested the venue twice with more than 600 sailors so we know what needs to be done, we need to fence the rivers so we don't have floating garbage into the bay. We need to keep the eco-boats oriented from above so they can spot the currents moving the floating garbage around so that the boats go there and take this garbage.

We have cut some services and made some important corrections, we have a balanced budget, with some creative solutions. Many of the future games will be inspired by what we do today.

If you save on walls at almost all the venues, two or three walls at each means a big saving, one of the places we made a big saving is in the move-in dates, when we move in and take control of an installation.
