If it still doesn't feel like the Summer Olympics are finally here, Friday's opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro will take care of that.
It's easy for the Olympics to sneak up on casual fans. Most people are only watching swimming, track or gymnastics every four years, completely forgetting to keep count of how long it's been since the last time they watched these stars.
However, all that fun comes back as soon as the opening ceremony begins and we see the thousands of athletes who have worked so hard to get to this stage. Add in an entertaining Brazilian performance, and this is an event you do not want to miss.
