Reunited: WRAL Team Back from Rio – Capitol Broadcasting Company

They’re baaaaccckkk! The Super Six arrived back in Raleigh on the evening of Tuesday, August 23, 2016, after over three weeks covering the Summer Olympics in Rio. Thankfully WRAL-TV Anchors Debra Morgan, Renee Chou, Jeff Gravley & WRAL-TV Photojournalists Brad Simmons, Keith Baker & Ed Wilson had no flight delays and got home with all of their luggage. Quick a difference from the chaos of their trip to South America late last month.

WRAL-TV Rio Team — From WRAL-TV’s Jeff Gravley: Travel to the airport went well and so did check-in. Not gonna jinx it but so far…

Rio airport — From WRAL-TV’s Ed Wilson: This just happened at the airport in Rio. Crazy dancing

WRAL-TV Team Rio — From WRAL-TV’s Renee Chou: Almost there! One more flight from NYC to Raleigh. So excited to come home, we can hardly stand it.

touchdown — From WRAL-TV’s Ed Wilson: Touchdown

Perhaps the best moment of WRAL’s Olympic coverage came at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Elsa, the daughter of Renee Chou, might’ve broken Usain Bolt’s record when she saw her Mommy. Priceless.

Thanks to WRAL-TV’s Rio Team for the terrific coverage from the Olympics! We’re happy to have you home!
