The Olympic Games opening ceremony takes place in Rio later on Friday.
Two Manx competitors will represent Great Britain in Brazil - cyclist Mark Cavendish and shooter Tim Kneale.
Cavendish starts the Omnium at the velodrome on Sunday 14th August.
The big day for Kneale is earlier - next Wednesday.
Multiple Island Games gold medal winner Rachel Glover says it's a major boost for her sport here on the Island to have a shooter in Rio:-
