    A bit of a hometown call there to get Brazil the first set. At least Canada kept it close.

    I was robbed on the beach right next to this stadium. Memories .

    LOL, of course the lone Canadian is the first guy to go in gymnastics. Sometimes I think the organizers do it on purpose.

    Well, it's just one day. The Canadian announcers have said when they showed up the water was like glass. Apparently in the men's races it wasn't so bad. If this is regular, I doubt FISA would have allowed it.

    In these conditions, the goal is just to qualify. It looks hard enough just to stay in your lane and not capsize.

    Oh, I thought the first gold was already awarded. To Gisele for the 50km walk.

    Wow that flame is trippy. EDIT: I like it (to be clear)
  8. orangeman
    Huh. I really expected Pele. I thought the whole health thing was a ruse since everyone was sure it was going to be him.
  9. orangeman
    I hope it's Pele and the flame is a ball and he kicks it into the cauldron!

    So while the politicians are talking, here is a humorous summary of the beginning of the OC. https://www.buzzfeed.com/andyneuenschwander/thoughts-i-had-watching-the-rio-olympics-opening-ceremony?utm_term=.luMKW3mj#.lx55MObw (For non-Americans, the GOP is the Republican Party, the one Trump is leading now).

    Portugal looking very...informal.

    Norway turned their crazy curling pants into jackets for the Summer Games.

    Ireland's flag bearer is a boxer named Paddy. Because of course.

    Oooooooooooooohhhh, Indonesia.

    Loving all the colourful uniforms. Really getting me in the mood for the Olympics (like I wasn't already!).

    Nice reception from the crowd. CBC shows our women's soccer team doing their own parade in Sao Paulo.

    Ok, I love those tricycles leading the countries in. Very original.

    Parade of nations!

    God I love Brazil. I visited last year and after I returned home (I was living in Korea at the time) I went into a depression for a few weeks. It was like a hangover. So much energy and passion. Gorgeous, too. And not just the scenery.
  21. orangeman
    Frankly, I would have been happy if they held the ceremony down at the beach with dancers and Sugar Loaf and Cristo in the background. Personally, the parade of nations is my favourite part of every OC.

    I just read something that said that the budget is much, much less than London (and of course Beijing). I'm glad. It was getting a little crazy. I'm glad to see something a little more down to earth and sincere.
  23. orangeman
    And so it begins!
  24. orangeman
    Yeah, but with Canada's luck...
  25. orangeman
    Seems like Canada has had a lot of tough draws so far at these Olympics. Bad luck. Now watch De Grasse get a first round heat with Bolt, Gatlin and Gay.
