Abstract

This paper seeks to question the process of preparation of the Olympic Games in 2016. For that was done a literature review on the subject and their legacies as well as a document analysis of sports institutions, the Olympic Delivery Authority and the Federal Government about the mega event. In this sense , it was found that the preparation of the 2016 Games is prioritizing the actions of market interest, with measures establishing a state of emergency , which does not respect the constitutional laws, are linked to human rights, the environment, public property etc. The beneficiary groups are those who financed the Rio campaign headquarters of mega event and/ or are directly involved with members of all three government levels , as well as proprietary sports entities of the commodity Olympics.
