The Olympic Opening Ceremony starts at 11 a.m. eastern time, and the athletes are already assembling themselves into groups for the big parade.
As we saw in London two years ago, athletes absolutely love the Opening Ceremony. They go nuts for it.
The American team is wearing a fantastic ugly Christmas sweater. The Germans are wearing rainbow ski coats. And the Canadians are wearing bright red peacoats.
The giddy selfies are rolling in hours before the ceremony:
