Interesting how common rhythmic gymnastics and women's diving are for these short intros.

 

I don't like the Tokyo one. Too virtual. It even features a freaking phone (!!). Ugh.

 

Yeah the Tokyo OBS intro is very disappointing, it could and should have been great. The Beijing one was pretty bad as well. I liked almost all of the rest.

There could have been shorter versions used as well. For instance, MediaPro had a 45 second full-length intro for Lima 2019 (that played before ceremonies), and then three different 30 second versions (that played before the sports).

Oh well... I think Tokyo is best by leaps and bounds. A perfect flavor of Tokyo and a great music.

I agree. The music is horrible, such a let down after PyeongChang.

Watching the obs intro again and again to feel like Tokyo... Wish it was a longer intro!
