An Olympic Opening Ceremony Like No Other
It was an Olympic opening ceremony like no other: athletes in masks marching in a mostly empty stadium.

Olympic officials hope to shift public focus away from the public health crisis to the competition, and to creating great sporting moments for the history books. Selina Wang reports.
