As for the prestige of this event, the Chinese have momentum in the symbolism of the opening of the games.

I was checking the entry list for Taekwondo and I can say half of them are familiar names. mostly national team members. probably not a big surprise because of the nature of this sport which is a martial arts.

 

but meet soldier Tijana Boganovic isn't she too good looking to be a soldier ? she will be more useful as a spy I guess

Alright just started watching the opening ceremony, so my following comments will be that. 
 

First off, Wuhan is a beautiful city. It’s one I haven’t heard of, but I’m impressed. 
 

Also, it’s obvious the games are being hoisted in the city because posters and projections are plastered onto every building, of including the bridges.

 

Winnie the Pooh got rapturous applause when he entered the stadium. Thankfully it didn’t last 10 minutes like in Turkmenistan during the AIMAG.

That flag truck was impressive and unique. Maybe a dry run for Beijing 2022?

This opening ceremony makes me feel conflicted about these games? I men’s sports are about peace, and militaries are for war. It just seems wrong to celebrate military culture. I don’t know. China is using it as propaganda, like every country that hosts these games. It just seems like a bad idea. Especially the motto. If we were coming to together in peace, we wouldn’t need militaries. I get to point of civil defense, but militaries aren’t civil defense. It’s a good opportunity for our service men and women to have a cool experience though, so I’m happy for them at least. I’ll try to enjoy the games too.

So doesn’t  have two different militaries? I’d imagine it’s a bit awkward planning for these games

Huge shoutout to Brazil for leering a “disabled” military member carry their flag in

If you have any rivets to live with, I would love to use them. @Olympian1010 you didn't find anything?
