Nice job by the IOC to recognize the Israelis from the `72 games.  I know that's normally a hot button topic whether or not to acknowledge that moment

It felt like how you would hear the American anthem before the Super Bowl, or God Save The Queen before the FA Cup Final/British GP

Although the American anthem before events is often performed by some B-artist who wants to give it a completely different twist, which is usually just awful..

Ah peasant dance troupes celebrating the harvest. This is what an opening ceremony is all about.
