Andrés Cantor travels to the southern Brazilian city of Santos for an exclusive and intimate conversation with Neymar that touches on such topics as the star forward's origins, his commitment to his community, his relationship with Messi, and his dream of winning the only world title that has eluded Brazil's national soccer team - the Olympic gold - before a hometown crowd.
"En Busca del Sueño Olímpico" will introduce audiences to Carlos Balderas, a boxer and one-time farmworker from Santa María, California, who represents both the United States and his Mexican heritage when he enters the ring. Viewers will also get to know Mexican diver Paola Espinosa, who won bronze in Beijing, silver in London, and is now going for the gold in Rio. Cuban-American gymnast Dannel Leyva will talk about his late entry into the games for a chance to top the bronze medal he brought home in 2012. The Deportes

These and other Hispanic athletes determined to make history at the world's top sporting event will share their dreams and fears, the challenges they overcame to make it to Rio, and the factors that motivate them to never give up, all on "Rio 2016: en Busca del Sueño Olímpico."
