In a huge boost for international sport specialists looking to enter the Brazilian market, the country´s Olympic Committee (COB) chief has openly admitted their desire to bring in coaches and technical advisors in a range of Olympic sporting disciplines in order to raise their medal chances for Rio 2016.
Carlos Arthur Nuzman commented through the week that they are already looking into ways to attract foreign experts to the country, and that although many of the world´s best coaches have existing commitments they are hoping to make the best of the situation. He added that they are already feeling the pressure of presenting good results at Rio 2016 and that more funding, both government and private, needs to be put into sport to ensure success.
More specifically, Nuzman Said that there is a real need to develop various training centres around the country following decades of neglect in the area.
