NEW YORK -- NBC will broadcast the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics on a one-hour delay.NBC Sports Group Chair Mark Lazarus said Monday that will allow producers to curate the coverage to provide proper context.With Rio just one hour ahead of the United States Eastern time zone, the network will televise most competition live, with the notable exception of gymnastics. For the third straight Olympics, NBC will stream every event live, but that hasnt included the opening ceremony. This year, viewers will need to wait only an hour.The opening ceremony is Aug. 5. NBC also announced Monday that it would air a one-hour preview special the night before. While the program will feature several star athletes, it will also offer the network a chance to cover topics such as the Zika virus and polluted waters that it likely wont address much once the games begin.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says Christian Lealiifano is up for his fight against leukaemia and the team will give him whatever support he needs.Wallabies and Brumbies star Lealiifano was admitted to hospital after being diagnosed with the illness last week.A number of Wallabies visited 28-year-old Lealiifano in Canberra over the weekend after their camp in Sydney concluded on Friday and before reassembling on Sunday night for this weeks camp on the NSW Central coast.I certainly believe hes going to get through and get through well, Cheika said on Monday morning.Hes a tough guy. Hes shown that over many years of playing footy and in the experience that Ive had with him hes always shown that and Im backing him 100 per cent.Whatever he needs well be there to provide it for him, around friendship, support, whatever it is so that he gets through it and beats it quickly.Hes up for it, theres no doubt about it. The lads have been in contact with him and a fair few of the boys have been to see him already, but hes right up for it.Im very positive for him and I believe just straight way hes got the right attitude and hes going to be in the right head space to take this one on.Wallabies captain and hooker Stephen Moore said the players had been shocked by news of Lealiifanos illness.I think he knows were all here to support him the whole way, Moore said.We spoke about that as a group, just making sure we continue our support for him as he continues to go through this treatment.I think theres always that initial support when the news comess out but then weve got to make sure we stay positive around him, right through his whole treatment.ddddddddddddWe dont know how long thats going to be, so well make sure were always there for him and make sure that he knows that.Moore expected there to be a change in emphasis in Wallabies training at this weeks camp after a gruelling week in Sydney.Last week we did a lot of strength and conditioning work and well continue that this week, but I think well start to bring our specific game content for the Test, Moore said.Cheika anticipated some selection posers for his All Blacks counterpart Steve Hansenahead of the Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday week following the Hurricanes triumphant Super Rugby campaign.Five-eighth Beauden Barrett put himself forward for promotion to start ahead of Aaron Cruden with his stellar season for the Canes and likewise livewire openside flanker Ardie Savea may have done enough to overtake All Blacks incumbent Sam Cane in Richie McCaws former position.Halfback TJ Perenara boosted his stocks for a bench spot behind Aaron Smith but big All Blacks winger Julian Savea remains under a cloud after being benched by the Canes for the finals series.There will be some interesting selection issues around openside and 10, but also Julian Savea and that wing position, said Cheika.And Perenara as well, is another player who has been in very good form.
