RIO DE JANEIRO Nike Air Max 97 Sale Clearance , Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Rio de Janeiro's Nilton Santos stadium - one of the showpiece venues for next year's Olympic Games - is currently without running water and electricity due to unpaid bills.

The stadium has racked up about 225,000 US dollars in outstanding utility bills in the past two months, according to the Globoesporte news portal.

Images published by the portal show the venue in a state of neglect with the turf overgrown and discolored by a lack of water.

Known locally as the Engenhao, the Nilton Santos stadium is slated to host athletics events at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The stadium has been closed since March 2013 after it was found the roof could collapse due to structural defects.

The cost of the repair work has been the focus of a bitter legal dispute between Rio's city government, which owns the venue Nike Air Max 2017 Sale Clearance , and Botafogo football club - which administrates it under a long-term lease agreement.

"We have to look at who is responsible (for the unpaid bills) and will have an answer on Monday," Botafogo president Carlos Eduardo Pereira said.

A spokesperson for the government was not immediately available for comment.

Located in Rio's north, the Nilton Santos stadium was built for the 2007 Pan American Games at a cost of 192 million US dollars.

According to Rio 2016 organizers, the stadium's capacity will be increased from 46,000 to 60 Nike Air Max 2018 Sale Clearance ,000 for the Olympics, which begin on August 5.

Brazil is in the midst of its worst recession in decades, hit by a devastating corruption scandal at state-run oil firm Petrobras.

Soaring inflation and a sharp devaluation of the currency have forced organizers to slash spending to avoid a budget blowout.

The Rio 2016 committee is seeking to prune over 500 million US dollars in costs to maintain its 1.9 billion-dollar operating budget.

HONG KONG, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- India's Anirban Lahiri is hoping to take advantage of his familiarity with the Hong Kong Golf Club to win his first title outside of India at the 1.3-million-U.S.-dollar Hong Kong Open next week.

The 26-year-old believes the course set-up at the Hong Kong Golf Club suits his playing style and has similar characteristics to his home venue where he has won twice.

"There are a few tracks which are similar to character to the Delhi Golf Club and the Hong Kong Golf Club is another course which is similar to that. It's a really good course which has withstood the test of time," said Lahiri.

"It's a great track and another one of those classic tracks with lots of trees Nike Air Max 90 Sale Clearance , small and elevated greens. You'll need to control your shots from off the tees and you've got to come in from the right spots and right angles," added Lahiri.

Lahiri, a three-time Asian Tour winner, will be rated as one of the genuine contenders at Hong Kong's oldest professional sporting event, having enjoyed a fantastic run of results since the beginning of the year.

The Indian started the year on a winning note by sealing his third Asian Tour title on home soil and followed that up with four top-10s which included three runner-up finishes.

He will now launch another attempt of getting his first win abroad at the Hong Kong showpiece which takes place from Dec 5th to 8th.

"I do look forward to going Hong Kong and the weather will also be good during that time of the year. I'm just trying to win the next event that I can Nike Air Max Sale Clearance , wherever it is. I'm sure I will. I just have to stay patient. I have done something right this year, winning once and finished second three times," said Lahiri.

"I need to keep going and stay patient. I've had some decent finishes in Hong Kong, some good rounds and some mediocre rounds, so it'll be a good opportunity to get things right Air Max 97 Sale Clearance ," said the Indian, who finished tied 55th in the 2011 edition.

The Hong Kong Open is Hong Kong's oldest professional sporting event where its early beginning dates back to 1959. It is co-sanctioned by The European Tour, the Asian Tour and the Hong Kong Golf Association.

The Hong Kong Open is the third event of The 2014 Race to Dubai, and one of the last on the 2013 Asian Tour schedule.

Defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain will defend the title he won in record-breaking fashion 12 months ago when he became the oldest winner in European Tour history at the age of 48 years and 318 days.

Other likely contenders at the Hong Kong Open include China's Liang Wenchong and teen prodigy Guan Tianlang, Bangladesh's Siddikur Rahman and Australia's Scott Hend who has already recorded the most number of wins with three victories on the region's premier Tour this season.
