Let the games begin! Rio went all out and delivered a spectacular kick off to the 2016 Olympic Games.
Just like you would expect, it was a party not to be missed. We were treated to amazing special effects, hundreds of performers and even Tom Brady's wife made an appearance.
Of course, the Parade of Nations was what many of us waited for and Team USA looked fantastic. Flag bearer Michael Phelps lead Team USA into the stadium.
Take a look at some of the cool moments that caught our eye during the opening ceremony.
