This Summer - All Eyes in Rio de Janeiro  The headache for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games organizers shows no signs of subsiding. Six weeks before the Games are set to begin, Francisco Dornelles, the acting governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro, told the Brazilian newspaper O Globo that the state has not yet received recently-approved federal funds to beef up security and transportation for the quadrennial competition. "I am optimistic about the games, but I have to show the reality. We can make a great Olympics, but if some steps are not taken, it can be a big failure," Dornelles told O Globo. Source: CNN

Eleven Ducks who ran under legendary coach Bill Bowerman broke the hallowed sub-four-minute-mile barrier, and on May 27 the ten surviving members of the group are returning to the University of Oregon for a special event, dubbed the “Sub 4 Reunion.” Organized as a fundraiser by the Oregon Track Club — founded by Bowerman himself more than 50 years ago — the public is invited to meet the milers and hear their stories. The reunion, held at the John E. Jaqua Center for Student Athletes, will feature a social hour,  panel discussion and question-and-answer session, and at the conclusion of the reunion attendees will head to Hayward Field for the 42nd running of the Prefontaine Classic.
