A fire has broken out at Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Park velodrome, prompting a major emergency response. About 80 firefighters responded to the blaze on Wednesday morning. Authorities say the fire is under control and largely confined to the venue’s fabric roof. There have been no reported injuries, and the interior, including the Olympic Museum, remains untouched. The cause is under investigation, but the facility has a history of roof fires. Two similar incidents occurred in 2017, caused by falling sky lanterns. The Velodrome has served as a primary training base for Brazil’s national cycling and weightlifting teams.
