yet a mistake near the end took him wide into rough

This summers Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio could trigger a full-blown global health disaster and must be postponed or relocated, according to a professor writing in the Harvard Public Health Review. Amir Attaran, professor of law and medicine at the University of Ottawa, says the outbreak of the Zika virus is more dangerous and extensive than previously thought and its inevitable spread worldwide may be accelerated when an estimated 500,000 foreign tourists visit Rio for the Games.The current Zika outbreak was first identified in Brazil in April 2015 and has been linked to cases of microcephaly - when babies are born with below-average head sizes - across large parts of South and Central America. Professor Attaran wrote: Zika infection is more dangerous, and Brazils outbreak more extensive, than scientists reckoned a short time ago. Which leads to a bitter truth: the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games must be postponed, moved, or both, as a precautionary concession.All it takes is one infected traveller. Analyses establish that Brazils cataclysmic outbreak stems from a single viral introduction event likely between May and December 2013. A few viral introductions of that kind, in a few countries, or maybe continents, would make a full-blown global health disaster. It has been claimed that Rio is at the heart of the Zika outbreak Mass migration into the heart of an outbreak is a public health no-brainer. Putting sentimentality aside, clearly the Rio 2016 Games must not proceed.Zika is carried and spread by mosquitoes, although there have also been reported cases of sexual transmission.It was initially linked only to severe birth defects, but subsequent clinical studies have also shown health implications for adults, including the debilitating and sometimes fatal Guillain-Barré syndrome.The outbreak has been declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO), but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stated earlier this year that Rio was only on the periphery of infected areas and that the Games could proceed safely.However, Professor Attaran wrote: Rio de Janeiros suspected Zika cases are the highest of any state in Brazil (26,000), and its Zika incidence rate is the fourth worst (157 per 100,000). Or in other words: according to Brazils official data, Rio is not on the fringes of the outbreak, but inside its heart. The International Olympic Committee insists the Games will be safe Proceeding with the Games violates what the Olympics stand for. How socially responsible or ethical is it to spread disease?When contacted by Sky Sports, the IOC replied with a statement that read: We are working with our partners in Rio on measures to deal with the pools of stagnant water around the Olympic venues, where the mosquitoes breed, to minimise the risk of visitors coming into contact with them. It is also important to note that the Rio 2016 Games will take place during the winter months of August and September, when the drier, cooler climate significantly reduces the presence of mosquitoes and therefore the risk of infection.The Olympic Games take place from August 5-21, with the Paralympic Games following from September 7-18.

A third-place run in a World Cup super-G on Thursday typified Millers season: Fast and crowd-pleasing, but errors cost him victory. "Im frustrated and worn out right now but I think I have more to do in the sport," Miller said. "I definitely am still competitive. If I can keep my body healthy then I think the plan is to race next year." Millers racing skills were clear when he became the oldest-ever Olympic Alpine medallist last month, taking bronze in super-G at Sochi. On a steep and technically demanding slope Thursday, no one was faster than Millers speed check of 101.9 kph (63.3 mph). Still, he came down 0.57 seconds behind surprise winner Alexis Pinturault, with another Frenchman, Thomas Mermillod Blondin, edging him by one-hundredth. "I had probably two and half seconds, three seconds, worth of mistakes, in that run," Miller insisted. "That is the way my season has been. I have had to deal with that." Miller took full responsibility for his race, and a World Cup season that has brought him four podium finishes but no addition to his 33 career victories. "It has been such a frustrating time of so many near-misses and so many really bad, stupid mistakes that I cant blame anyone but myself for," he said. That list includes his top priority races: The classic World Cup downhill at Kitzbuehel, Austria, in January and the Olympic downhill last month. Miller finished third and eighth, respecctively, when the best of his skiing was good enough to win, and his practice runs left some racers awe-struck.dddddddddddd Here on Wednesday, Millers final downhill performance this season followed the same pattern. He led at the final time split -- 0.30 faster than eventual winner Matthias Mayer of Austria, the Olympic champion -- yet a mistake near the end took him wide into rough snow which slowed him. "These errors arent little bobbles, they are like borderline catastrophic," Miller explained. "(Wednesday) I just got so broken down about halfway down the course I didnt even care anymore. I wanted to stop. I didnt even really tuck through the finish line." Even standing up straight, he still placed eighth just 0.62 back. "I really wanted to change that today just because I think thats not the way to race," Miller acknowledged. "I just wanted to really stay focused to push every hundredth out of it that I could, even though I knew I was going to be out of the course a few times." "I felt good about battling through it," said the veteran racer, who has started a total of 32 World Cup and Olympics events this season after sitting out a year to recover from knee surgery. One incentive for returning strong next season is to race at the Feb. 2-15 world championships in front of home fans at Vail-Beaver Creek, Colorado. Thats for next season, after the current campaign closes with a giant slalom on Saturday. "Right now," Miller said, "I feel like I dont want to see ski boots for a little while." ' ' '
