Ariana Washington had her fun. At the Opening Ceremonies for the Rio Olympics, the University of Oregon sprinter posed for pictures with fellow Team USA athletes ranging from flag-bearer Michael Phelps to Golden State Warriors basketball player Draymond Green.
"That was the best experience ever," Washington later tweeted.
With several thousand athletes participating in the Parade of Nations set to the hip-moving beats of Brazil's music, Friday night's festivities were a party on a global scale. They were colorful celebration at the famous Maracana Stadium, in which green and yellow appropriately took a starring role.
