President Barack Obama and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden are skipping the Olympics.
The White House says U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will lead the U.S. delegation to the games. He’ll be the highest-level U.S. official attending.
The U.S. delegation will also include swimmer Mark Spitz. He has nine Olympic gold medals, plus a silver medal and a bronze medal.
