France Informed of Planned Terror Attack on Rio Team
The Rio Games face countless other problems: the Zika epidemic, soaring crime and security worries, slow ticket sales and severe water pollution in venues for sailing, rowing, canoeing, triathlon and distance swimming.

Intelligence officers from the UK, US, Spain, Belgium, France, Argentina and Paraguay will also support Brazilian agencies at an Integrated Anti-Terror Centre in Rio while there will also be other centres set up in football host cities and in the capital.
Four countries are most at risk from a Zika outbreak as a result of travel related to the Rio Olympics and Paralympic Games, a USA health agency said on Wednesday. It’s definitely going to be interesting to see how this thing plays out.
“I do feel slightly less pressure going into Rio”.
I understand the Zika virus is a real threat.
The event starts at Royal Troon today and it would be great if we could have another British victor following on from Lewis Hamilton and Andy Murray’s successes in Formula One and tennis respectively last Sunday.
“We will assess every performance in Rio de Janeiro – top-five, top-eight, and those athletes with potential for 2020 and 2024”, Merklinger said.
When asked about her expectations at Rio, she was optimistic about her chances.
In addition, I don’t think people realise what an ambassador she’s been for our sport. “There’s still some time left before Rio to put some work in as well”, she added. “I got sixth”, said McLeod, who turned professional in 2015. There are big infrastructure projects that are still to be delivered, namely the subway line to connect the city, the main tourist neighborhood, to Barra, that’s the neighborhood where the Olympic park has been built.
“I think it’s the International Olympic Committee’s responsibility to do the best they can to prevent it. I wanted to firstly become an Olympian and secondly to stand on the top of podium as a victor”.
“But it’s just about taking all of the necessary precautions, making sure that I cover up as much as possible, and just being sensible, having as much as information and knowledge about Zika and how it could effect us”.
