Let the Games Begin: WRAL-TV Rio Team Brings Olympic Coverage to Triangle

They had a rough road to Rio, but the WRAL-TV team covering the 2016 Summer Olympic action in Brazil is having a mountain-top adventure that more than makes up for lost luggage and a multi-day journey. WRAL-TV Anchor/Reporters Debra Morgan, Renee Chou and Jeff Gravley with WRAL-TV Photojournalists Brad Simmons, Ed Wilson and Keith Baker are bringing back live action and a bevy stories from Rio each day on WRAL-TV. The team is also posting constantly on social media.
