As the London Games wind to a close, Rio is ramping up.

Leonardo Gryner, head of the Rio organizers, says they are "transforming the whole city" for the 2016 Summer Games.

"All of the construction is on time," Gryner says. "All of the sports venues will be completed by 2015 in time for full test events for each competition."
