[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 561033, member: 48703"] [IMG]http://imgs-srzd.s3.amazonaws.com/srzd/upload/c/o/complexodesportivodeodoro3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://www.cbmerj.rj.gov.br/imagens/novas/JBALANCO_DOS_JOGOS_PANAMERICANO/Complexo_Deo2.jpg[/IMG] Unfortunately for Sevens, it has been deemed a minor sport at the 2016 Olympics and will be using the Modern Pentathlon Arena (small and mainly temporary seating). The arena is located in Western Rio, far from the famous tourist areas of the city and where the main events of the Olympics is held. And Sevens has been grouped in the category of runt sports (BMX, Shooting, Equestrian etc). Sevens was originally considered to be played in the main stadium, or a football stadium. But many criticised the fact that Brazil built a venue just for Modern Pentathlon as too little investment, so they solved their problem by dumping Sevens alongside.
