The world watched as Rio de Janeiro was put on center stage Friday as the Olympic Summer Games showed off an opening ceremony which included Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Athletes from 205 nations and territories marched behind their flags.

On behalf of all 11,288 competitors (6,182 men; 5,106 women), a Brazilian athlete pledged an oath that they won't take banned drugs -- a promise likely to ring false to many fans after the scandal of government-orchestrated cheating in Russia.

Now, the all eyes will watch as elite athletes over a number of disciplines take to their competitive arenas.

You can watch it all.

Saturday's coverage is part of more than 4,500 hours of live competition on NBC's family of networks, which includes Telemundo, NBC Universo, NBC Sports Network, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, USA and various Olympic specialty channels. Live streaming is available at nbcolympics.com.
