Mkbw50 381 Posted August 6, 2016 #411 Share Posted August 6, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I equally felt happy when Kosova and South Sudan athletes waked in the Stadium similar to when India walked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Prashanth 157 Posted August 6, 2016 #417 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) 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.

Griff88 1,737 Posted August 6, 2016 #418 Share Posted August 6, 2016 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniSRB 896 Posted August 6, 2016 #419 Share Posted August 6, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
