Solo downplays problems in Brazil, complains of US media (The Associated Press)

Hope Solo is blaming the American media for spreading fear about the Zika virus and other problems ahead of the Rio Games. ''It's a little bit unfortunate because I think the American media has been really tough on people of Brazil,'' Solo said. Solo, in her third Olympics, said it seemed problems in Brazil were being blown out of proportion by media in the U.S.
