Homecoming for China coach

Competing in the Olympics is the culmination of a long and arduous journey for the athletes, but for Rick Azevedo, head coach of China's female water polo team, the road to Rio has been even more daunting.

After mentoring athletes around the globe for nearly three decades, Azevedo, the son of a Brazilian World Cup soccer player, never dreamed of returning to the city of his birth as head coach of a team from the other side of the planet.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for me. Of course l love China, but to come back here with the team that I love to the place where I was born gives a lot of satisfaction," Azevedo said.
