WHO TO RIO Haley Anderson

Tony Azevedo

Swimming

T

he 2016 Summer Games are a bit of a homecoming for legendary water polo player Tony Azevedo. The 34 year old was born in Rio, but moved to California as a newborn and was raised in the U.S., which he says will always be his true home. His father, Ricardo, was a member of the Brazilian national water polo team in the late-’70s, and got Azevedo involved in the sport at age 8. By 10, he was competing as a part of the U.S. Junior team, and by college, he had four high school MVP titles to his name. He first represented the U.S. at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and then helped Stanford win two NCAA championships in 2001 and 2002. After he turned pro, Azevedo continued to dominate both with his club and with the U.S. national team. He was part of the silver medal-winning squad in Beijing in 2008, and was named team captain for the 2010 London team that lost in the quarter-finals. In Rio, he is again captain for the U.S. team.

David Boudia

Gabby Douglas

Diving

D

avid Boudia was at a bit of a disadvantage when he started diving in 2000 — he had a fear of heights. The thought of diving off a 10-meter platform terrified him, but he was encouraged by a coach to practice drawing his dives — so he did, over and over, to the point where he was able to compete in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He finished 10th there, but with his fear of heights successfully conquered, he went on to take silver medals at World Championships in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

In London, he won bronze in the 10-meter synchronized platform event with thenpartner Nick McCrory, and also became the first American man since Greg Louganis in 1988 to win the gold medal in the 10-meter platform event. Now, as the reigning Olympic champion, Boudia has another four years of experience on which to draw as he looks to defend his title.

Gymnastics

L

ike many gymnasts, Gabby Douglas got her start early. Her older sister, Arielle, is a former gymnast, and she helped Douglas learn some early moves like the cartwheel and one-armed cartwheel. It took some convincing to get Douglas’s mother to enroll her in formal training, but thanks in part to Arielle, it happened, and Douglas’s talents were quickly evident. Fast forward to the 2012 Olympics, and Douglas was making history. Only 16 at the time, all of her training and competing had paid off, culminating in the moment she became the first woman of color to ever be crowned the individual all-around Olympic champion. She also added a gold medal in the team competition as part of the “Fierce Five.”

Heading into Rio, Douglas is still at the top of her game, and bolsters a strong U.S. gymnastics team.

ater runs through Haley Anderson’s veins. The 24-year-old open water competitor comes from a family of swimmers — her mom, Colette, swam for the University of Hawaii; her older sister, Alyssa, has an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 4x200-meter freestyle relay; and her younger sister, Jordan, swims for the University of Utah. Anderson is on her way to her second Olympics, after first competing in London and winning a silver medal. She came incredibly close to winning gold in that race, losing out by only four-tenths of a second. Now, she has four more years of experience and a couple more championship wins under her belt, setting her up to once again compete for Olympic gold.

WHO TO RIO

Ashton Eaton

Matt Emmons

Decathlon

M

att Emmons has had a storied Olympic career, for better and for worse. He has won a medal at each of the last three Olympics he’s attended — Rio marks his fourth Olympic Games. In 2004, he won gold in the 50-meter rifle prone event, and he was in contention for a double gold, but infamously cross-fired his final shot in the three-position (kneeling, prone, standing) event to finish eighth. It was after this disappointing finish that he met his now-wife, fellow Olympian and Czech shooter Katerina Kurkova, when she approached him at a bar in the Olympic village to offer her condolences on the loss. In 2008, Emmons took silver in the 50-meter rifle prone event, and again had a less-than-stellar showing in the three-positions event, overtaking the leader in the last round, but firing too early on his last shot and finishing just off the podium.

London saw him shake the three-positions curse, taking bronze, and now, Emmons is, again, one of the favorites to take a gold in Rio.

Dawn Harper-Nelson

Carlin Isles

Track and Field

D

awn Harper-Nelson has her eyes on the ultimate prize in Rio, and the hurdler, who says she has changed quite a bit since her first Olympics in 2008, is in a prime spot to claim it. After an impressive high school career that saw her break her own Illinois State Record, she went to UCLA, where she was named an All-American twice. In Beijing, running with a pair of borrowed shoes from teammate Michelle Perry, Harper-Nelson pulled off an upset and claimed gold in the 100-meter hurdles event. Two years later, tragedy struck and Harper-Nelson’s career was in jeopardy — she hit a hurdle in practice, badly injuring her knee, and required extensive rehab to get back her career on track. Her hard work paid off, and in 2012, she went to London and won silver in the 100-meter hurdles. Now, she’s eyeing a return to the top of the podium, but in her own pair of shoes.

Rugby Sevens

R

ugby sevens makes its Olympic debut in Rio, and if there’s one man to watch on Team U.S.A.’s rugby sevens team, it’s Carlin Isles — but don’t blink because you might miss him. Isles is considered to be the fastest man in rugby, and the stats back him up. In June, he posted a time of 10.15 seconds in the 100-meter dash, notching a personal best and qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Track and Field trials (he passed on the opportunity to focus on rugby). In YouTube videos, sevens games look like they’re moving in slow motion until Isles picks up the ball and turns on the jets. For a man who has only been playing rugby for four years, he’s quickly made a name for himself, and is a great weapon for the U.S. team in Rio.

shton Eaton is at the top of his game. He’s been unstoppable for the past four years, ever since he captured Olympic gold in the decathlon. He claimed World Championship titles in 2013 and 2015 — he used 2014 as a “rest” year from the decathlon, instead focusing on the heptathlon, where he claimed the title at the World Indoor Championships. He holds the world records for total points in both the decathlon and heptathlon, and at the track and field Olympic trials last month, he easily came out on top, scoring 325 more points than the second-place finisher. (For reference, the difference between second and third was 12 points.) As he heads into Rio, Eaton can focus on defending his Olympic title, but also has the opportunity to make a little history with his wife, Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen. No married couple who has competed together at the Olympics has ever won individual gold medals for different countries, and accomplishing that feat is a distinct possibility for Eaton and Theisen.

He continued his training, and after being on the Junior National Team from 2007 to 2010, he went off to the University of Michigan, winning the 2011 NCAA Men’s Gymnastics individual all-around championship in his freshman year and repeating the feat in 2013 and 2014. Though he and the rest of the U.S. gymnastics team didn’t medal at the London Olympics, Mikulak didn’t let that slow him down. Last year, he won the all-around gold medal at the PanAm Games in Toronto, and this past June, he won his fourth-straight all-around title at the P&G Championships, as well as the silver medal in both pommel horse and parallel bars.

In high school, she helped lead the Collins Hill High School basketball team to an impressive 125-3 record during her four years there. Her college career was equally outstanding, so it was little shock that she was taken first overall by the Minnesota Lynx at the 2011 WNBA draft. Over her short career so far, Moore has claimed an Olympic gold medal, two FIBA World Championship gold medals, three WNBA championships, a Finals MVP award, an overall MVP award, a Rookie of the Year award and the WNBA scoring title (in 2014), and Rio is shaping up to be yet another feather in her cap.

t has been a tough past few years for 30-year-old Jillion Potter. The Texas native has faced her fair share of adversity in the form of a broken neck and then, a few years later, a cancer diagnosis. Potter was athletic from a young age, playing basketball through high school before switching to rugby union in college. In 2010, a freak accident in a game against Canada saw her fracture her C-5 vertebra and tear ligaments, with doctors telling her she’d never play rugby again. She defied them, and soon she was back, this time taking up rugby sevens.

In 2014, Potter would be diagnosed with a rare cancer, and after chemo, radiation and surgeries, she began building her strength up again. Now, she gets set to help lead the U.S.A. Eagles women’s team as they usher in a new era of Olympic rugby.

Kerri Walsh Jennings

Mariel Zagunis Fencing

Beach Volleyball

K

erri Walsh Jennings has been a powerhouse on the professional beach volleyball circuit for 15 years, but her success reaches back even further. In high school in the mid-’90s, she played basketball and volleyball, taking the volleyball squad to three state championships and the basketball squad to one state championship. She won the inaugural Gatorade National High School Volleyball Player of the Year award in 1996 (an award also won by her current teammate April Ross), and continued her dominance all throughout college. After graduating from Stanford with a bachelor’s degree in American studies, she jumped into beach volleyball, partnering up with Misty May-Treanor and carving a path as what many would consider the greatest beach volleyball team of all time. Now, after taking gold in beach volleyball at the last three Olympics with May-Treanor, Walsh Jennings takes to the court with Ross, a stellar player in her own right who lost to Walsh Jennings in London to claim silver.

W

omen’s sabre fencing was added to the 2004 Olympics, where Mariel Zagunis wasted no time staking her claim. The then-19-year-old was fresh off a string of Junior World Championships titles, and entered the Olympic tournament after Nigeria chose not to send their fencer to the Games. Zagunis went on to claim gold, the first American to do so in 100 years, and then followed up her performance in Athens with another gold in Beijing in 2008, defeating another highly touted American fencer, Sada Jacobson, in the final round. In London, Zagunis failed to medal, but she was bestowed another honor that few others get to realize — she was named the official flag bearer for the United States in the Opening Ceremony.

ichael Phelps needs little introduction. Over the course of the last 16 years, he’s amassed more Olympic medals than any other athlete in history, and now, he’s looking to add a few more to his trophy case. When he qualified for the Rio Olympics in June at the men’s 200-meter butterfly event, he became the first American male swimmer ever to appear at five Olympics. It seems almost ho-hum that he’s going to yet another Summer Games, but there is nothing ordinary about what he has accomplished and what he can accomplish. At 31, he’s still, arguably, the best swimmer on the U.S. team, and — barring injury — will most likely take home at least one medal (it seems almost absurd to think otherwise). Phelps has done a lot of growing up since the 2012 Olympics — he proposed to his girlfriend of nine years, Nicole Johnson, and the couple welcomed their first child earlier this year.

RIO RIO

Welcoming the world

Opening and Closing Ceremonies bring athletes together

By Kyla Brewer TV Media

T

here’s something almost magical about the Olympic Games. No matter what’s going on in the world, nations put aside their differences to celebrate excellence in sport, and nothing showcases that solidarity like the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

The fun kicks off in Rio de Janeiro when athletes participate in the Parade of Nations before the official lighting of the Olympic cauldron during the Opening Ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics, airing Friday, Aug. 5, on NBC. Traditionally, the Opening Ceremony boasts a number of stunning performances as the host city welcomes the world, and Rio is sure to pull out all the stops as the first South American city to host the Summer Olympic Games.

“The Olympic Opening Ceremony is always a singular can’t-miss event, and this year, because it’s in Rio, you know it’s going to be a party like no other,” said NBC executive Jim Bell.

Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Savannah Guthrie co-host NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremony from the legendary Maracanã Stadium, site of the 2007 Pan American Games. As mandated by the Olympic Charter, the ceremony includes formal elements such as speeches, flag raising and the Parade of Nations, in which the athletes march into the stadium proudly wearing their nation’s colors.

For the first time ever, this year’s Parade of Nations features 10 athletes who don’t represent any specific country, as they compete for the Refugee Olympic Team (ROT). These refugees shine a spotlight on the current global refugee crisis by carrying the Olympic flag into the stadium immediately before host nation Brazil during the Opening Ceremony.

As in past Olympics, Rio’s Opening Ceremony showcases the host nation’s culture in an artistic spectacle designed to wow millions, if not billions, of spectators in Rio and around the world. Acclaimed filmmakers Fernando Meirelles (“City of God,” 2002), Andrucha Waddington (“Me You Them,” 2000), Daniela Thomas (“Foreign Land,” 1995) have been tapped as creative directors of the ceremony, which features thousands of performers

in a celebration of Brazil, which is known as a place of unbridled revelry thanks to such festivals as the annual Carnival.

Previous host countries of the Summer Olympics have gone all out with lavish ceremonies involving high-tech lighting, moving stages, pyrotechnics and more, but Meirelles and his team had a much smaller budget to produce Rio’s Opening Ceremony. In fact, Rio had just 10 percent of the budget London spent on the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games. Undaunted, Meirelles has actually been supportive of the decision. “I would be ashamed to waste what London spent in a country where we need sanitation, where education needs money,” he told reporters in September.

What the spectacle might lack in high-budget effects, it is expected to make up for in creativity. The rhythms of the country’s various musical styles serve as the soundscape for a look at Brazilian culture that includes dancers and indigenous artists, in addition to thousands of amateur volunteer performers. In November of last year, hip-hop dancers, skateboarders and roller skaters auditioned in the hopes of adding a taste of urban street culture to Rio’s Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Renowned choreographer Deborah Colker has taken on the challenge of managing the more than 6,000 dancers involved in the production. Rehearsals began at the end of May, but details have been fairly guarded by all involved. Colker has said that they have been working on a segment about the colonization of Brazil.

While everyone is filled with anticipation Meredith Vieira co-hosts NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro, with Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie

for the Opening Ceremony, the Closing Ceremony is often a bittersweet affair as friends new and old bid farewell following intense competitions, victories and heartbreak. NBC brings viewers full coverage of that event as well, which is set to air Sunday, Aug. 21.

As with the Opening Ceremony, the Closing Ceremony is subject to the rules of the Olympic Charter, and will include official closing speeches, the hoisting of flags, another Parade of Nations and the extinguishing of the Olympic flame. Maracanã Stadium once again serves as the venue, which will also feature the official handover to Tokyo, Japan, where the next Summer Olympics will take place in 2020.

While the Opening Ceremony is all about coming together, the Closing Ceremony is about honoring the special memories and moments of the Olympic Games for the competitors, coaches, supporters and countries.

NBC brings viewers the magic and excitement of the Games as athletes — sometimes from rival countries or countries with long-standing conflicts — come together in sport at Rio’s Opening Ceremonies on Friday, Aug. 5. On the flip side, the Closing Ceremony, which airs Sunday, Aug. 21, relives the most memorable moments of the games. Don’t miss either spectacle, or a moment in between, as the world’s best athletes converge at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
