Amy Brennan (Spain) sent in this article about the effects of the games in Rio. Amy said, 

“When the Rio Olympics were in the final planning stages, there was a lot of news coverage of "would they be ready or not" and "were they prepared or not." Then the Games, started, and all the focus turned to the competitions, the athletes, and the stories of the Games. This article goes back to the preparation part, and showcases how the Games have not helped the poor areas of Rio that hoped to receive a benefit. An important read for fans of the Games as it shows the human side to the host city, and not just the human side to the athletes.”
