2016 Olympics teams

Olympic 2016 - Aug 5

Pacific time

Opening Ceremony: The Olympics will open at the famed Maracan�, which will also host soccer semifinals and finals late in the Games.

The Opening Ceremony will be highlighted by the Parade of Nations and cauldron lighting, the final torchbearer always a closely guarded secret. (Of note, the final torchbearer has actually been multiple people at the last three Olympics, so it will be interesting to see if Rio ends that streak.)
