I will murder the fucking director, I swear. And I will film it from an awkward angle with little to no lighting.

The torch is lit, not a fan of it though. Loved the ceremony and the concept. Camera angles sucked, but the show was the best YOG opening Ceremony I’ve watched

Now they are showing the 2010 Opening ceremony?

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

Can’t wait to wake up at 5:00AM (my time) for the first day of action. Nothing says fun like tennis and breaking Preliminaries

My comments about the opening ceremony:

The good: it was a nice idea to take the ceremony to the streets and they made good use of the obelisk. I also liked the fact that athletes from every nation paraded together, and that the ceremony was short. Not charging for tickets was also a great move. The official song is nice too (for the first time a song for the Olympics doesn't bore me to death before it's over the first time I listen to it). 

The bad: the parade of flags was rushed to the point we could barely see the athletes, the costumes used by the dancers were terrible, the lighting was bad overall and sometimes we could barely see what was going on.

 

The ugly: the camera angles were annoying, the whole "this guy, olympian, one bronze medal" thing was annoying, the pillow fight when athletes were marching in made no sense at all, the Olympic cauldron looked like an urinal.

Overall, not a bad ceremony, but a terrible job from the director.

    • That was known from the start for  and will be planned for.   Sadly just the reality of sports in North America. Canada and the US are both huge, a flight from Vancouver to Halifax or from Seattle to Miami is north of five hours. Every sports league in North America has to deal with this kind of travel logistics on the regular, so none of this will seem particularly unusual to a North American player.
    • That’s not a long distance, it’s barely a 2h flight and there is no difference in timezone. Easily doable for fans as well.
