RIO DE JANEIRO -- The head inspector for the IOC says shes confident the trouble-plagued Rio de Janeiro Olympics are ready to welcome the world with the games opening in just under four weeks.I cannot imagine more spectacular backdrops for the worlds top sportsmen and women to showcase their talents to a watching world, Nawal El Moutawakel said in a statement from the International Olympic Committee on Monday.Rio has been beset by a long list of problems: the Zika epidemic, rising violence and security risks, severe water pollution and slow ticket sales. In addition, the county is in its worst recession since the 1930s and the impeachment trial of President Dilma Rousseff is set to begin just days after the Olympics end.El Moutawakel was in Rio over the weekend, taking her last look at Olympic venues. She called the venues stunning and pointed out that Rio has hosted 44 test events to prepare for South Americas first Olympics.She also said the delayed subway line extension, linking the Ipanema and Copacabana beach area to the western suburb or Barra da Tijuca, would be ready for the games. State officials have said the line will be running on Aug. 1, four days before the games open on Aug. 5.She confirmed the $3 billion subway line extension will operate only for Olympic fans and officials -- and not the general population. She said the trains are now running the full length of the metro line, as it enters the final stages of testing.El Moutawakel also assured that two delayed venues -- the velodrome and the equestrian venue -- will be ready.She said Rio organizers were working to minimize the risk to visitors from the Zika epidemic and said the IOC was following the guidelines of the World Health Organization. The WHO has advised pregnant women not to travel to Zika areas.On other fronts, from security to water pollution, El Moutawakel said organizers would provide top-level conditions for the athletes.Brazil will deploy 85,000 soldiers and police to secure the games, twice the number in London four years ago.Violence has been spiking in Rio. A mutilated body washed up on Copacabana beach two weeks ago, and sailors from Spain and Australia have been robbed at gunpoint as they trained in the city.Human Rights Watch said in a recent statement that police have killed 645 people in Rio so far this year. It says some were most likely the result of the legitimate use of force, but many others were extrajudicial executions.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wade Greg Pateryn Wild Jersey .

The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. At a 4-10 overall record for the split following a win over sinking rookies from Team Envy (6-7 after starting 5-1), NRG Esports is not having the kind of season it envisioned. A postseason slide last split before falling to Team Liquid in the quarterfinals, the revamped NRG lineup for this split with South Korean import AD carry Oh Ohq Gyu-min was supposed to take the club to the next level.Alternatively, it has been a struggle throughout; the transitioning pieces on the squad have found it difficult to be on the same page. With only four games to go in the regular season and 2.5 games behind in the chase for the final playoff slot, the odds are firmly against it advancing to the knockout rounds.Ace mid laner Lee GBM Chang-suk, though, shares enough optimism and confidence for the entire team.Because I was ... God, GBM replied when asked how NRG were able to blow past Envy in a must-win match to keep the teams playoff hopes alive.You were God? I asked.I was God today, he said. Thank you.Charismatic, fun loving and an aura of carefreeness around him, GBM is a one-of-a-kind player in the world of League of Legends. A top mid laner in 2015 on the Jin Air Green Wings, the veteran moved over to North America at the start of the year with the newly founded NRG Esports. After falling in a sweep in the first round vs. Team Liquid last split in the playoffs, the entire starting five but GBM was overhauled, and it has been an uphill battle since for the self-proclaimed American God to find his footing overseas.We have to get on the same page, GBM explained. In particular, he stressed the need for himself, jungler Lucas Santorin Larsen and Alan KiWiKiD Nguyen to start finding synergy together when it came to making decisive calls for the team. We need to get on the same page, and we need to practice. [Us three] need to bbe on the same page.ddddddddddddFor NRG, coming together has been the most difficult obstacle. This is a team of five skilled players who have never before played on the same professional team; there have been occasions when things have clicked, like those fleeting moments in which NRG appear to be a top-four (maybe even top-three) club in the league. But then, like it was a mirage. The facade washes away and were left with the true NRG Esports: a team filled with a lot of shiny parts, but nothing to truly connect them.I talked to GBM about his time with the Jin Air organization and how his old club has also struggled this season to find any sort of consistent play.Theyre always afraid to play confident, GBM said about the Green Wings. They dont have confidence. They need more seasoning, more play, because Jin Air coaching style is always super safe [and] dont like risky. I was Jin Air, so I know why thats the problem. They have to play more risky, be more confident and more aggressive.Although the results havent been there just yet, GBM isnt shy about discussing his love of America. He prefers the weather, views and atmosphere over his time in Korea. His personal preference for room temperature is around 85 degrees, and he remarked how the cold air in South Korea often got him sick due to the conditions. In the bright skies and sunny weather of Los Angeles, GBM feels as if he has found a place he can thrive in.Ending the interview, we played a game of word association. I ran down members of his team and asked him what were the first words to come to mind.Santorin? I asked.Strong.Quas?Spear.Kiwikid?Sword and shield.Ohq?Crossbow.Finally, I inquired, So what does that make GBM?Christ. ' ' '
