Olympics-Cycling-Trott unfazed by Zika fears ahead of Rio Games (Reuters)
Britain’s double Olympic champion cyclist Laura Trott says she is not worried about the Zika virus, which has led to a number of athletes withdrawing from the Rio Games. The build-up to the Olympics, which get underway on Friday, has been dominated by fears surrounding the mosquito-born Zika virus which has been linked to birth defects in newborn babies and possible neurological problems in adults. All I want is to win another medal,” Trott was quoted as saying by British media.
