The Rio Olympics are officially underway, with the Opening Ceremony being held Friday night at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The United States brought the largest delegation to Rio, with 554 athletes representing the country.
Leading the delegation into the Maracanã was swimmer Michael Phelps, who’s competing in his fourth Summer Olympics and with 22 medals (18 of which are gold) he’s the most decorated athlete in Olympic history.
Usually the United States has to wait until the latter stages of the parade of athletes to enter the stadium, but that wasn’t the case this time around.
