As said, they shouldn`t focus the security over an unlikely terrorist attack but over the foreigner people there. Pray for this Olympics to end with the less body count and the less rapes.

“It’s important that the Olympics isn’t just a little European or American club, it needs to be spread around the world,” the spokesman added. “It needs to have this universal feel.”
Yeah, but I think we can do with that without sacrificing the safety of athletes and tourists. I'm pretty sure not all non-European and non-American countries have a habit of stealing or mugging people.

If there were a medal tally for muggings at knifepoint, kidnappings and assaults, I believe us Aussies and out Kiwi mates would be out in front, sadly. We seem to be soft targets for the Brazilian crims.

Easy to say from their safe-haven. Wait until one of them gets mugged.
