The Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition
Olympic Sailing is in the fortunate position of being both geographically in the center of Rio, and also in the most picturesque of the venues in the 2016 Games — flanked by Sugarloaf Mountain to the south of the Marina, the silhouette of the Christ the Redeemer statue atop its mountain to the west, and the skyline of Rio in the background, the venue is a broadcaster's dream.
