I only noticed this time- opening and closing- because, having no clue about the language, they finish translating well before the end of the speech by the Chinese guy. As far as I know, that is usually the case indeed. Subtitles have always been faster than the actual speech here, as far as I remember at least.

For Asian Games 2018, the president’s speech text is already supplied for commentators (even though he added some extra sentences) Even more extreme SEA Games 2013 in Myanmar (where the language is basically mysterious), the broadcast already included subtitles for the speech of the organizing committee head Dunadan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,573 Posted February 20, 2022 #210 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Never thought I'd ever think so, but "I declare the Olympic Games closed" is what I've been waiting for for a few months already (even though I enjoyed the Games). Let the road to 2026 begin!
