NBC Olympics presents coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad from Maracana Stadium on Friday, August 5 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC (in the United States, check local listings).
Tonight the Rio Olympics officially start in Rio. Athletes from around the world will gather to compete for gold, silver and bronze. It’s always an exciting time to see these games with ancient roots. May the athletes and others gathering and be safe from harm and that peace will be the theme of the events.
Tonight we watched Bruce Jenner interview. Jenner won the 1976 Olympic decathalon and was the poster boy for athletics in this country. He was featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
I was impressed with the candor and feelings expressed. Complex issues of biology, sociology, psychology and personality with the life of Bruce. He wants to live life on his terms despite the pressures of society, family and community.
