The whole thing is supposed to be under 2 hours, which would also be the quickest opening ceremony?

 

Probably, they are not even announcing the countries I think?

 

I missed Canada's entrance..

I didn't expect much from the opening, but even so I have to say I'm disappointed. This looks amateurish at best. 

 

I was expecting this. The director must be a total idiot, he can't get one angle right

What the hell! I didn't know Swaziland is now Eswatini!

On a side note, I was travelling during the first 4 Youth Olympics, so its nice to actually view it from home.

This seems to be a great live experience, but in TV it doesn't look so great as one would hope.

Parade of nations is definetely the best part of any OG opening ceremony , but this one is so dissapointing

I edited my comment. I see some good points now that I would like to see at the "big" Olympics. For example, I really liked the fact that all of the athletes paraded together and taking the opening ceremony to the streets is actually a brilliant idea. But the angles and the lighting are putting me off.
