Line	From	To
I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to know this	:00:07.	:00:09.
We've got everything you need to know on the first day of Rio 2016.	:00:10.	:00:15.
First, the Rio 2016 Olympics have kicked off in spectacular style.	:00:16.	:00:32.
The opening ceremony last night welcomed the world's best athletes	:00:33.	:00:38.
to Rio in Brazil and Ricky's is there to tell us	:00:39.	:00:40.
about which exciting events are coming up today.	:00:41.	:00:43.
Good afternoon to you from Rio in Brazil.	:00:44.	:00:45.
It is the day after the opening ceremony.	:00:46.	:00:50.
Well, it is the first official day	:00:51.	:00:53.
There are 12 gold medals up for grabs and the first should be	:00:54.	:01:02.
that will be in the air rifle in the shooting final.	:01:03.	:01:06.
Chris Froome is also in action today.	:01:07.	:01:08.
He recently won the Tour de France and today started	:01:09.	:01:11.
So can he win a gold for Team GB here?	:01:12.	:01:16.
Fencing, judo, all happening at the Olympic Park.	:01:17.	:01:22.
And there is another fantastic sport that the Brazilians love,	:01:23.	:01:24.
That is happening at the Copacabana Beach.	:01:25.	:01:29.
Hopefully we can pop over there a little bit later.	:01:30.	:01:31.
And in the evening we have got swimming.	:01:32.	:01:33.
Somebody to look out for is Team GB's James Guy.	:01:34.	:01:38.
He's a medal contender in the 400 metres.	:01:39.	:01:45.
It's morning still because we are four hours behind the UK and I just	:01:46.	:01:52.
saw Clare Balding going for a morning stroll.	:01:53.	:01:54.
opening ceremony then fear not, Newsround was there.	:01:55.	:01:57.
inside the stadium at the opening ceremony.	:01:58.	:02:07.
Thousands of people here have just sung the Brazilian national anthem	:02:08.	:02:11.
and now we are expecting the show to really begin.	:02:12.	:02:21.
The organisers of the show have used a really clever way	:02:22.	:02:24.
by projecting these fabulous images onto the floor,	:02:25.	:02:29.
It wouldn't be an opening ceremony without fireworks.	:02:30.	:02:38.
Brazil has not disappointed.	:02:39.	:02:45.
And there we go, Team GB have just entered the stadium,	:02:46.	:02:48.
We welcome you in Rio, the Olympic city.	:02:49.	:03:02.
So, there you go, the flame has been lit in the stadium.	:03:03.	:03:04.
I think this opening ceremony was all about	:03:05.	:03:08.
having fun, dancing and loads of colour.	:03:09.	:03:12.
But now the serious stuff begins - the sports.	:03:13.	:03:14.
it is going to be about bronze, silver and gold.	:03:15.	:03:23.
Team GB's swimmers will be hoping to impress when they hit the pool	:03:24.	:03:26.
Eight members of the team are from Scotland,	:03:27.	:03:32.
So what do the kids who train at Glasgow's Olympic pool think?	:03:33.	:03:39.
I just love winning medals. And then going to the Olympics and winning	:03:40.	:03:50.
trophies. And you are nine years old. What do your friends say about	:03:51.	:03:53.
you spending all of this time slimming? You are here most	:03:54.	:03:58.
mornings, what do they say? They think we are crazy because all I	:03:59.	:04:02.
really care about is swimming. I let to get my timestamp. You want to get	:04:03.	:04:05.
your timestamp question mark what are your dreams? Go to the Olympics	:04:06.	:04:10.
and be champion swimmer. Well someone who know's what it's	:04:11.	:04:13.
like to win gold at the Olympics Ricky caught up with her to chat	:04:14.	:04:16.
about one of this year's big medal hopes, Adam Peaty,	:04:17.	:04:21.
the pressure he's under. There is a lot of pressure but I	:04:22.	:04:30.
also think it is nice because he has got James Guy and I think it is nice	:04:31.	:04:34.
because those two are good friends. So they are sharing a room and it is	:04:35.	:04:38.
really nice that Adam and James are kind --, are medal hopes, get to eat	:04:39.	:04:44.
all that out together and help one another. Because it is hard when all	:04:45.	:04:48.
eyes are on you and that expectation. He is only 21! Exactly	:04:49.	:04:52.
those I have been there and it is truly tough and difficult to deal	:04:53.	:04:56.
with but I think those two are just so funny, they will just laugh it	:04:57.	:04:57.
off. Next to news that could one day	:04:58.	:05:02.
help people with asthma, a condition which can make it	:05:03.	:05:04.
hard to breathe. Most people with astham use	:05:05.	:05:06.
inhalers to feel better, but now scientists are working	:05:07.	:05:09.
on a pill to treat it instead. The team say their study shows mass	:05:10.	:05:16.
of promise, although a lot of work still needs to be done. It is voted	:05:17.	:05:20.
could be a step towards making new medicine. -- it is thought it could	:05:21.	:05:22.
be. I think it's important	:05:23.	:05:23.
in lots of ways. We have had really good treatments	:05:24.	:05:25.
for asthma for many years that are delivered through	:05:26.	:05:28.
inhalers which are great. But there is no doubt that	:05:29.	:05:30.
lots of people with asthma really don't	:05:31.	:05:32.
like inhalers so to have the opportunity of having	:05:33.	:05:34.
a new treatment in a tablet Last up, ever wondered	:05:35.	:05:36.
what a singing robot sounds like? Alter the robot has been programmed	:05:37.	:05:40.
by scientists in Japan to mimic the way human brains work,	:05:41.	:05:48.
so it has complete control over its limb movements,	:05:49.	:05:51.
and facial expressions. That's all from the team today,	:05:52.	:05:56.
but Newsround is back, right here, tomorrow morning,	:05:57.	:05:59.
with much more Olympic action.	:06:00.	:06:02.
