Delayed Flight Almost Made USA Volleyball Players Late for Opening Rio Ceremony

USA volleyball players April Ross and Brooke Sweat narrowly avoided Olympic disaster on Sunday.

The duo’s American Airlines connection flight from Miami to Rio was delayed, and the next one was on Saturday. Given that the Opening Ceremony for the 2016 games is on Friday, that would’ve been a catastrophe.

Luckily, United Airlines was able to come through in the clutch. They caught a Sunday night flight.
