Did CBC play the intro music?

It's a very slow and short arrangement... at least the familiar part

It gets worse every year

Looks like CBC is streaming multiple courts, at least on badminton and tennis. Not all of them, but a couple... I'm guessing the ones Canadians will be on

Why people feel the need to mess with a good thing is beyond me

Short and bad rip

 

I loved the previous 4, though I hated them in the beginning, so maybe it will grow on me

My 3 main criticisms of this intro:

 

1. Length, like you mentioned

 

2. Generic animated athletes instead of featuring Canadian athletes

 

3. Can't see any cultural elements at all. In the past, you can tell which country the games are being held in just by listening to the intro but this just sounds like a generic piece of music.

 

Oh well. My two favourites are still Beijing 2008 and Sochi 2014.

Tokyo 2020 grew on me and I love Athens/Beijing 2008
