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 are scheduled to deliver a report Wednesday to the International Olympic Committee executive board.
Organizing committee head Carlos Nuzman will present the report to the board in Lausanne, while Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes will speak by video conference from Brazil.
The IOC will also hear progress reports from organizers of the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
