Olympian1010 7,936 Posted July 28, 2022 #392 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I did manage to find a stream eventually. Hopefully there will be some replays, so I can enjoy the ceremony in full at some point. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,936 Posted July 29, 2022 #399 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Finally had a chance to watch the ceremony in full. I quite enjoyed it. I thought the tone fit the event well, and there was a uniquely British/English feel to it. It was definitely the best ceremony of this cycle so far. “Sport has the power to change the world.
