The main ramp for launching boats participating in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, built at Marina daGloria in Guanabara Bay, collapsed . The ramp was completed in a hurry on July 29 and stood intact for only a day after the facility was handed over. Local authorities attributed the breakdown to high tide and rough seas. Officials of the Olympics Organising Committee assured media the ramp would be fixed within four days. The competition starts in Marina da Gloria on August 8.
