Zika, recession, political scandal loom over Brazil Olympics.
(CNN)This year, Brazil is scheduled to open its arms to people from all over the world for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
With the Games nearly three months away, the country is facing a series of unprecedented challenges: the Zika virus outbreak,
which has been connected to a rare birth defect; a crippling recession
that has left hundreds of thousands unemployed and sent inflation
through the roof; and a political crisis that has implicated some of the
country's most powerful lawmakers.
Now, President Dilma Rousseff may have to step down amid allegations of fiscal mismanagement, leading many to ask: Will the Olympics even happen?
