Adrian unfazed by armed robbers
US swimmer Nathan Adrian said he is not concerned about his safety after four of his teammates were robbed at gunpoint in Rio.
The US Olympic Committee said Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen were robbed early on Sunday by thieves posing as police officers who stopped their taxi and took their money and belongings.
Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky said the four swimmers were safe.
Adrian said at a media conference on Sunday “there will be problems anywhere you go,’’ and that the swimmers have been briefed on how to reduce those risks.
He said that now the swimming competition in Rio is over, athletes want to see more of the city.
