These are the only 2 Olympic intros I can find from our national broadcaster....

 

 

RTÉ Olympic Intro  - Beijing 2008

 

 

 

 

RTÉ Olympic Intro - London 2012

 

 

 

[dcro 10,210]

Barcelona intro was a full minute long?

 

Interesting how common rhythmic gymnastics and women's diving are for these short intros.

 

I don't like the Tokyo one. Too virtual. It even features a freaking phone (!!). Ugh.
