Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games 2016 News

According to multiple news reports only 55 of 366 British athletes will attend the Opening Ceremony parade of nations, citing winning Olympic gold as more important than attending the opening ceremony.

 

Also, the opening ceremony stadium is not located near the athletes village, so a long journey there and back coupled with lots of waiting around and competition over the next couple of days is a reasonable excuse for not attending. I expect that lots of athletes from many nations will skip the opening ceremony on Friday.
