Summer Olympic Games 2016 Ceremonies


Recommended Posts

This is amazing. It's not like London, but it doesn't have to be. It's not London. It's Rio.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

I just read something that said that the budget is much, much less than London (and of course Beijing).  I'm glad.  It was getting a little crazy.  I'm glad to see something a little more down to earth and sincere.

Frankly, I would have been happy if they held the ceremony down at the beach with dancers and Sugar Loaf and Cristo in the background.  Personally, the parade of nations is my favourite part of every OC.

    • If you're a commentator and you complained at the end of a race like this, you shouldn't be a commentator...

    • Don't want to be negative, but i slightly hope Johaug doesn't win a gold here, just for dissing the World Cup after Tour de Ski..   And she is one of my favourite skiers..
    • After Cena won the chamber match, Cody Rhodes came out to congratulate him. They hugged out, as The Rock's music hit and he came down to the ring. Rock asked Cody, will he give him his soul, but Cody declined Rock's offer. Cena was so much enthusiastic and again hugged Cody. But at that moment, Cena looked at the Rock, as he gave him the signal. Cena's expression changed to a serious one, as he attacked and assaulted Cody, aligning himself with The Final Boss.   JOHN CENA TURNED HEEL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2003. THIS IS INSANE.

    • Here are my predications and pick for the Oscars, borrowing @vinipereira formatting as usual    If I haven't seen a film yet, it is left unranked.    
    • Really shocking news  apparently from the heart attack at the age of 49   he was a 3 time Olympic Champion. couple of wrestlers have more/better medals but he was always considered as the most technical wrestler of all time. always fun to watch  
    • Due to lack of NH events during World Cup this one is always bound to throw a surprise. Lindvik basically did nothing all season and the Norwegian ski jumping has struggled with all the funding issues but here they are with old on home turf.   One bronze is bad for Austria but I'm convinced they'll bounce back on LH
