Yep. The best thing is athletes coming together no matter their politics. Remember the Korean unity flag?

That's why I hate what Lebanon did so much

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

Mind you, Times of Israel is kinda biased. I hate Israeli politics, but it's not the athletes' fault

Sad to Know about it .. Main motive of Olympics is getting missed.. We need unity in this world .. 

 

I equally felt happy when Kosova and South Sudan athletes waked in the Stadium similar to when India walked.

LOL watching on nbc, and not sure if it was on world feed, but after the americans entered they just showed them while bunch of countries entered

 

Just NBC. I did get a laugh when the feed spent only like 3 seconds on Argentina and then when around the stadium before resuming the parade. That's how you do a rivalry.

Show was not of that glamour quotient and not enjoyable...But made me go through the history of Brazil and got to know about it...I think that itself has achieved the purpose of the organizers. Expected better Samba section, But dint get much. Caudron lighting build up was not there. But the design was awesome...It came n got over so fast.

The ceremony is certainly not as big as London or even Beijing, but still a festival :d

 

The Parade of Nations was somehow in slower pace, maybe because of the music. Love the cauldron, just hoping it is a bit bigger

The only problem was the censorship in Indonesian TV :facepalm:(Giselle Bundchen got blocked by with a white square and the ceremony is cut after the hoisting of the Olympic flag, fearing the butts of Samba dancers ) :dunno:

I watched 2/3 of ceremony and now waiitng reprise to continue

 

What i saw was really great and enjoyable.....it was not spectaculr and expensive as Beijing and London,  but it had soul and spread message......and i think it showed good direction in which ceremonies should go

 

I also like parade very much and whole idea about it :thumbup:

 

Only i don't know if it was on Serbian tv or everywhere, but sound was bad during the concert of Brazilian singers....but still could hear some :d

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
