RIO de Janeiro's Joao Havelange Stadium, scheduled to host the athletics at the 2016 Olympic Games, is to stay shut for 18 months while the roof is repaired, a committee of engineers said on Friday. The stadium, completed six years ago, was closed in March because of structural damage to the roof in a major embarrassment for Brazilian sporting authorities. The city government said the roof could present a risk for spectators if the wind reached over 63 kilometers per hour.
