The Winter Olympics are here and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is set to introduce Team USA during NBC’s Primetime airing of the Opening Ceremonies.
Although the ceremonies took place this morning, NBC will air an “enhanced primetime presentation” of the Opening Ceremony, from 8-11 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. In addition to the Parade of Nations ceremony, there will be a special focus on the athletes of Team USA.
In a press release sent in to SEScoops, The Rock spoke about the honor of being part of the opening ceremonies.
“Our athletes representing Team USA at this year’s Winter Olympics are some of the most talented and determined men and women in the world,” said Johnson. “They have dedicated their lives to their sport, pushing through injuries and personal setbacks, training through the toughest of conditions, to rise up and join the elite who have the opportunity to represent their country in the most iconic competition in the world.”
