CTV began covering the Olympics for Canada beginning with the Vancouver 2010 Games. The amazing coverage theme music and graphics were produced for the Vancouver Games and now re-formatted for London.


The amazing Opening Ceremony pre-show would move any Brit to shed a tear, lots of montages on Great Britain's moment....plus, retrospectives on Canadian athletes in London and a look back at Vancouver 2010:

IDK Something just seems to be missing compared to Vancouver. Do you agree?

I found the full OBS broadcast of the opening ceremony.

You see the part before the start where the audience gets covered in blue fabric- didn't see the point of it.

It seemed a bit odd - I put it down to them trying to make the green infield the "Isle" and the crowd the sea.

I like parts of the coverage. But Brian Williams needs to retire. I love a few of the TSN personalities, but some of their athlete commentators make me cringe, especially Shewfelt.

I just really miss CBC's diving, swimming and track commentators.

I agree. Rod Smith has no enthusiasm compared to CBC's Bryon MacDonald.

I hope CBC regains broadcast rights for 2014 onward.
