Your Favorite Opening Ceremonies


Recommended Posts

guys, I recall to all of you that we have a marvellous and very useful button (the one replying the youtube logo -in black- in the posting window)...:evil:

 

with that, you can post a smaller version of the youtube video window and you can also set the exact time of the video you want your segment to start -it doesn't cut the video, just moves the start at the indicated time when you launch it)...;)

Vancouver 2010, Toronto 2015 (home town games, so how could it not be among your favourites ?). I really liked Turin 2006 as well...

My biggest problem with Toronto 2015 was that it just really lacked a wow moment. I loved the way they made the caldron though

I love the First Nations segment from Vancouver 2010. However the caldron malfunction overshadows that ceremony.

I love the first 5 minutes of Athens 2004. I’ve had that song/beat stuck in my head all week. Also the rings on fire in water had become such an iconic image.

As @bestmen said, you can't like the whole ceremony but mostly just the certain parts.. So here we go:

 

Opening intro: Athens 2004 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlatmzDXXOg)

 

Anthem: Sydney 2000 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoZ7QziVSDg

 

Parade of Nations: Beijing 2008 (because the order is so random)

 

Cauldron lighting: Beijing 2008

    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
