IOC leaders are set to review the final stages of preparations for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics amid concerns over the Zika outbreak, delays in completing a key sports venue and challenges posed by Brazil's political and economic crisis. With less than two months before the Aug. 5 opening ceremony in Rio, Brazilian organizers were scheduled to deliver a report Thursday to the International Olympic Committee executive board. Organizing committee head Carlos Nuzman will present the report to the board in Lausanne, with Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes speaking by video conference from Brazil.
