RIO DE JANEIRO — The IOC is counting on the experience of London organizers in hosting successful Olympics to help Rio de Janeiro deliver the same in 2016. Rio organizing committee president Carlos Nuzman praised the “extraordinary” help from the London team and said the lessons learned after weeklong debriefing sessions here will contribute greatly to the first Olympics in South America. IOC vice president Nawal El Moutawakel said London's experience will provide a “long-term influence” to the future hosts and the Olympic movement. Organizers of other Games also participated in the debriefing. — Reuters
