4:55 p.m.
IOC President Thomas Bach says preparing the Rio de Janeiro Olympics "were not always easy times, and it is not easy times now."
Speaking Wednesday to reporters, Bach says "I think you can say very clearly that the financial model of the Olympic Games has really stood a stress test."
He says other hosts should not have to go through this "in the future."
IOC members have openly ripped into Rio's preparations, questioning security, the city's water pollution, traffic jams in the days before the games, and its finances.
