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

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.

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

 

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 (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 )

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 

 

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

I like how our squares are bigger than usual.
