The opening day of the Rio Olympics got off to a shaky start with some security scares.
A stray bullet pierced the tent of the press area at the equestrian centre, and the bomb squad was called in to conduct a controlled explosion of an unattended backpack near the finish line of the men's Olympic cycling road race.
There were also reports of logistical issues, with fans queuing for hours and some missing events entirely.
