Check Out Photos From Rio Olympics Opening Ceremony In Brazil

Rio's Olympic Games have officially begun after the opening ceremony took place, featuring elaborate light display and carnival lights.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen took to the stage, although some where furious at the money being spent during Brazil's worst recession in recent years which resulted to protests outside the stadium. 

Fireworks erupted from the stadium while hundreds of samba dances paraded through the stadium, carnival-style.
