You didn't notice something : dancers here are 100%  professional so they didn't give the opportunity to normal people to participate like in all previous edition 

 

So they lost much poitns here , i give them score  6/10 

My overall is like 6/10 too. Plus for Italian rapper, Bocelli, Cosmos fragment  rest predictable.

Can't really put into words how bizarre and amazing this was to see  

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

I mean, I've been a massive sports fan since I was a child, but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I might end up having a family with an actual Olympic flag bearer

Just for laughs, I think it looks very pretty in context.

Great show  

 

Was expected an amazing ceremony, and we celebrated cultural icons that makes our nation unique 

 

 for the first time there are two Olympic flames at the Winter games: one in Milan and one in Cortina.

Overall, I think the show was quite nice. Nothing really outstanding, besides Andrea Bocelli, but...nice. Just for the love of everything that is sports, let's never, ever do this "opening ceremony in multiple places" thing again, please. That absolutely didn't work, they were cutting away all the time so everyone got barely shown. Plus, you're taking us from inside the massive stadium with 80.000 people or so back and forth to 3 people walking in front of the local town hall of a small village with some locals attending while walking their dogs before going to sleep, so to say. Just don't do that again please.

It was far better than Patis 2024 Or any other recent opening ceremony

There was something like that at Paris 2024, wasn't there? With the surfers doing a sort of opening ceremony with them in Tahiti. Maybe Italy got its inspiration from there.

I think parade was longer that usually in Winter games. But it was nice these 4 parades togerher but with some delay. I was affraid that they will come simultanously.

It took about half an hour longer than 2018. Which is fine and I think they factored that in. Problem was the rest of the show was also half an hour long in it's own right.
