Ikarus360 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Very strange yet vanguardistic presentation so far. Nods to the Olympic handover but without being a copycat of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMarkSnow2012 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Meanwhile, as a British performer reintroduces the Rihanna theme from the 2012 closing cermeony: in totally non-Paralympic news, comedy Emmys go to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jeffrey Tambor.

Olympian2004 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm slightly late for the party - I fell asleep on my couch and only awoke to Philip Craven's speech But this music concert part of the ceremony really looks a bit as if they ran out of ceremony budget.

Olympian2004 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I guess a truly historic moment approaches - the very final moment of Brazil's three years in the focus of the sports world, with the 2013 Confed Cup, the 2014 World Cup and now the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Troublesome, but I hope also amazing years for the country! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I wrong? The principles of this ceremony are the same as the Olympic opening; lots of projection disguising a smallish cast. It's just that the projection is on a conventional screen this time, rather than on the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
