Rio Judge Allows Construction To Proceed On The Already Completed Olympic Golf Course!

The Rio Olympic course is finished and growing in. But that didn't stop Judge Fabio Dutra from ruling (again) that construction may move forward, despite attempts by city of Rio prosecutors who have attempted to halt completion due to environmental concerns.

There's one catch: construction is complete! Proceed!

All of this is made that much more surreal when going on in a city that on the same day admitted it's trash and raw sewage infested waters will not be cleaned up for Olympic sailing (doody!), 500 days away.

Yet some are still lamenting the creation of a golf course, yet unable to demonstrate any negative impact on the environment. This is one wild and zany city!

Prosecutors did not immediately say whether they would appeal again, although this was considered their last chance to stop the construction before work becomes too advanced.

In his ruling, judge Fabio Dutra said the matter is "highly complex" and needs to be further evaluated, but conceded that at least some of the environmental concerns were taken into consideration. He noted that course's construction was already in an advanced stage, and mentioned the importance of the Olympics to the city.
