The pictograms segment was the best part of the ceremony.

 

Unfortunately I haven't found online yet the video of this part!

 

Very disappointed by Italy's outfit: really ugly. I still can't believe they are Armani.

 

Found a two-part on twitter. I'm sure the whole segment will resurface on YT sooner or later

One thing for sure after this ceremony is that I changed my profile picture to respect the saviour of the opening ceremony  

Interesting that you of all people did that, considering it's the badminton one where he messed up  

 

But yeah, that thing was cool!

Well yeah badminton messed up but no problem  

 

I don’t know how famous the show outside Asia, but “Masquerade” or Kasou Taisou is basically my childhood. Even my brother and sister who was uninterested with the whole ceremony stopped to watch that section.

 

He’s present at the presscon, probably clarified about the badminton mistake

Also the show’s MC is the guy in red/white coat in Nagano 1998 closing

Found the pictograms on beIN Sports Asia's Youtube page. Uploaded as a single video.

This is funny.

 

South Korean TV network MBC’s coverage of the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony on Friday went awry when it used what it has now admitted were “inappropriate” photos and captions to refer to countries competing in the games.

 

The broadcaster drew the most ire on Twitter after it showed a photograph of Chernobyl — the site of the 1986 nuclear power plant disaster ― as Ukraine’s athletes entered the National Stadium, reported Agence France-Presse.
