Rio Olympics opening ceremony to feature shocking scene
Aug 02, 2016
The opening ceremony at the Rio Olympics will feature a shocking scene, in which former supermodel Gisele Bundchen suffers an attempted mugging, then takes pity on the young thief, in a message of "peace."
There have been widespread leaks following a dress rehearsal at Rio's Maracana stadium, despite pleas from organisers to keep it under wraps.
One of the show's masterminds, City of God movie director Fernando Meirelles, angrily denied the report.
Meanwhile, a Goldman Sachs survey predicted the world's 2 largest economies - the US and China, will again win most gold medals at the Olympics.
It says American athletes will come away with 45 gold medals, China will win 36 and Britian could edge Russia for 3rd place.
Separately, Astro Arena has announced a 15-hour daily coverage throughout the Games.
