Worried IOC members are grilling the Rio de Janeiro Games organizers about traffic jams, water pollution, security and the absence of signage to give the games its own distinct look.

International Olympic President Thomas Bach also turned up the pressure Wednesday by telling organizing committee president Carlos Nuzman and CEO Sidney Levy: "It's delivery time. Here we go. Now it really starts."

Nuzman and Levy tried to be reassuring but acknowledged it had been "very difficult" to prepare South America's first games, which have been plagued by slow ticket sales and worries over the Zika virus, crime and security, and costs.
