RIO DE JANEIRO : More than 2,000 construction workers were off the job Friday in the second day of a strike that has slowed work at the Olympic Park, the main cluster of venues for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
A spokesman for the construction consortium Rio Mais said he was not sure when work would resume.
In a statement, Rio Mais said it expected any lost time to be made up quickly and that the construction timetable would not be affected.
