The Brazilian Federal Government has released updated photos of the 2016 Olympic Games venues in Rio today. An overhead camera snapped shots of the enormity of the two primary venue clusters, Barra Olympic Park and Deodoro Olympic Park. Olympic and Paralympic swimming and water polo are taking place at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium within Barra.
