On The Ground In Rio With Reporter Shira Springer
ResumeLet's talk about the Olympics.
There's a lot to catch up on from the past few days. We've already seen USA swimmer Katie Ledecky shatter her own world record in the 400-meter freestyle, Michael Phelps show he still has more gold medals in him and gymnast Simone Biles demonstrating why she's the favorite to win the women's all-around final.
But, Brazil is also still a nation amid political turmoil, and there's evidence of that on the streets of Rio outside Olympic stadiums and arenas.
