USA TODAY Sports columnist Nancy Armour has a chat with Juliana Barbassa, Brazil native and author of the book "Dancing with the Devil in the City of God: Rio de Janeiro on the Brink.”Barbassa discusses the book as a Brazilian who spent parts of 30 years living abroad and returned to see a less-than-appealing transformation of Rio de Janeiro, where the Olympics will be held this August. She and Nancy talk about the real fears for these Games, including the water quality, safety in the city, a budget crisis and the Zika virus. They also lament Rio's missed opportunity to move forward with recent big-time sporting events such as the Pan-American Games and World Cup.Subscribe and rate us on iTunes!
