RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the Rio de Janeiro Summer Games opening ceremony (all times local):
9:51 p.m.
Archer Zahra Nemati had a big smile and a wave for the crowd as she carried Iran's flag into the opening ceremony in her wheelchair.
Nemati is competing at the Olympics and Paralympics, where she's a defending gold medalist.
She was a black belt in taekwondo before a car accident paralyzed her as a teenager. She picked up archery a few years later because she wanted to compete in a sport.
Earlier Friday, she competed in archery's qualifying round at the Sambadrome.
