RIO DE JANEIRO Herren Nike Air Max 95 Schuhe Schwarz Grün Günstig , Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has defended the environmental impact of the Rio 2016 Games after activists tried to disrupt a meeting of the organization's top officials on Saturday.
A group of protesters burst into the lobby of a five-star hotel on Rio's Copacabana beach, where IOC president Thomas Bach was meeting with his executive board.
While the meeting was being held on another floor, the activists caught the attention of dozens of journalists who were waiting to attend a press conference by Bach.
Games organizers have been criticized over the location of the Olympic golf course, which is being built next to a nature reserve, and the slow progress of clean-up work to Guanabara Bay's polluted waters.
"We are not against the Olympics Nike Air Max 95 Damen Schuhe Grün Günstig , but we are against the corruption around the golf course that is being arranged by the mayor (Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes)," demonstrator Jean Carlos Novaes said. "They are stealing with the Olympics as an excuse."
Bach said the project to clean up the bay showed the IOC's commitment to environmental responsibility.
"All of this without the Games would not have happened," Bach said. "So, again, it's clear evidence what a positive legacy these Games are leaving in the infrastructure Damen Nike Air Max 95 Schuhe Licht Rosa Günstig , the social, and in the environmental areas."
Bach insisted 80% of the bay would be cleaned in time for the Games, despite admissions from Rio state authorities that the target to improve sewage treatment would not be met.
The IOC chief did not comment on reports of delays to dredging of another polluted inlet near the Olympic Park complex.
Another protester, identified only as Sandra, also expressed her ire at the golf course construction.
Last week Paes caught IOC officials off guard by admitting his opposition to the course.
"I hate to have to done this course, if it was up to me we would never had built it," Paes was quoted as saying by the Globo newspaper.
Bach later told reporters: "With golf, I'm a little surprised because as we all know, the mayor was pushing very much for this to happen."
Asia wants a significant increase in its allocation of places in the 48-team 2026 World Cup Herren Nike Air Max 95 Schuhe Weiß Günstig , the head of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) told AFP.
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al -Khalifa said Asia was counting on a fair distribution of 2026 World Cup slots, demanding a rise from its four guaranteed places to reflect its economic power and the popularity of soccer there.
"The Asian continent, given that it's the biggest continent in the world, deserves a significant increase in its current World Cup slots, given its big economic power Nike Air Max 95 KPU Herren Schuhe Schwarz Gold Günstig , and the immense popularity of the sport in Asia, and also the increasing development in the different aspects of the game," he said in an -e-mail interview.
FIFA's decision in January to expand the World Cup from 32 teams to 48 "-allows many national teams to reach the world event for the first time, and will reflect on the development of the game worldwide," he added.
But he warned that the distribution of slots must be based on "clear and transparent foundations."
"We have previously expressed our full support to the decision of raising the number of teams at the World Cup to 48 as of 2026 Herren Nike Air Max 95 Stussy Schuhe Loyal Blau Weiß Günstig , given the strategic importance of such a decision in developing different aspects of football."
Sheikh Salman declined to put a figure on Asia's demands at the expanded World Cup although experts say it could be as high as eight.
Asia's soccer boss also expressed approval for massive Chinese spending on big-name transfers from Europe and South America.
He said the trend "sheds light on Asia, and highlights its growing presence on the international map, and helps in bringing big media and marketing benefits."
Chinese clubs have splashed out fortunes for top international talent, including Chelsea midfielder Oscar who moved to Shanghai SIPG and Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, who joined city -rivals Shanghai Shenhua.
He warned Herren Nike Air Max 95 Stussy Schuhe Weiß Günstig , however, that the -arrival of top players must not come at the -expense of the homegrown talent and hinder the development of the game in China.
