RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Ingrid Williams was supposed to be here.
It was about this point of the Olympics that she planned to join her husband, U.S. men's basketball assistant coach Monty Williams. The couple would likely visit Christ the Redeemer statue, a symbol of Brazil's beauty and their faith, and spend time together just before the hectic start of the school year for their five children.
But when Ingrid Williams died on Feb. 11 at age 44, it meant he would experience Rio alone.
"So a little bittersweet, but at the same time we've had to manage that and move forward," Williams said in an interview with The Associated Press.
