Just not as busy as they wanted to be. The two popular stars from the U.S. swimming team four years ago in London have just three individual events between them in Rio, hardly the frenetic schedule they've grown accustomed to over the years.

After becoming the world's murder capital last year and posting an equally bloody start to 2016, El Salvador has seen its monthly homicide rates fall by about half. The government attributes the drop to a tough military crackdown on the country's powerful gangs, while the gangs themselves claim credit for a nonaggression pact between the three biggest criminal groups.
