Olympic Games: Party in Rio like its 2016 despite concerns
Rio de Janeiro (CNN) Stood next to a band of volunteers outside Rio's Olympic Stadium, Zahn Malherbe stands out. Originally from Cape Town, she's draped in a South African flag and has traveled from Chicago to watch younger sister Stephanie compete in the women's football tournament. She wears the No. 7 shirt. Stephanie's boyfriend Ben Huskinson, from Houston, Texas, has also made the trip and both he and Zahn are reveling in the Olympic spirit -- even though the Opening Ceremony isn't until Friday. "This is my first time outside of the United States," Huskinson, 21, told CNN ahead of South Africa's group stage match against Sweden at the Olympic stadium. "It's very different from the U.S., from what I've seen. I like it. I think it's cool how you can look to one side and see normal Brazil and look to another side and see the Olympic Stadium," added Huskinson.
