Frankly, she's not doing too badly, Zizi Jeanmaire's song is difficult to sing

I don't think the concept really worked, but full marks for trying something new and ambitious.

I loved that. Definitely a lot better than Tokyo and Rio. London will always be top for me as a Brit through.

I think London is still number one. Beijing and Athens were also good.

Finally, someone mentions one of my favorites

We are off to a great start, already doubling the Ceremony posts from Tokyo and Rio. Let's hope the sports threads will be as active from tomorrow.

My personal favorite segments from the ceremony were the Le Mis/French Revolution tribute (the entire sgement), the love/literature segment, and the march to the Trocadero.

 

Celine Dion also did a magnificent job of ending the ceremony on a high note.

Now start neverending days. Not many sleep for me until 11.08.

That’s still far better than us here in Southeast Asia where the main events take place between 12 midnight to 4 am.
