“Rio 2016 is not aware of any changes to the ownership of the land"

AroundTheRings.com follows up with Rio 2016 spokesman Carlos Villanova who doesn't seem to feel anything has changed with the golf course property selected for the first Olympic golf course.

“Rio 2016 is not aware of any changes to the ownership of the land where the City Hall intends to build the golf course,” Villanova said in an email to Around the Rings.

“We fully trust that City Hall will meet the deadlines for the planning, construction, and operation of the course.”

AP reported last Friday about a land ownership dispute that threatens the course's creation and construction.
