Lowest level in its 300 year history. And a german winemaking region crowns its new queen, a refugee from syria becomes the local goodwill ambassador. Im brent goff. Its good to have you with us. One day to go until the biggest event in the world of sports, the Olympic Games in rio de janeiro. The excitement is mounting but the russian doping scandal just wont go away. Now the president of the ioc says a final ruling will be announced soon on how many russian athletes will be allowed to compete. Meanwhile some sporting fans have already been enjoying olympic competition. The Olympic Party has started early. The first competition kicked off on wednesday, two days before the Opening Ceremony. A good start after so much uncertainty about the venues being ready in time. Its great to see all the changes and the organization thats gone into this. Its wonderful to see brazilians wellpoint welcoming people from around the world. This chinese fan has spent a long time getting here, by tricycle.
