    Handover will be fun to watch. Also kicks off a decade of sports in Australia
  2. BigVic
    Their own mascots in 1999 also took part in promotion for the Sydney Olympics. Great memories as a kid.

    Still got a tumbler from London 2012 I bought in Australia. McDonald’s here also sold the Fuwa mascots as a Happy Meal toy during the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics here.

    Lets hope this doesn't turn into a mess like the France '98 World Cup Opening Ceremony.

    After the muted Tokyo 2020(1) Opening Ceremony, Beijing 2022 felt like a normal Opening Ceremony once again with Zhang Yimou directing it. Loved the use of LED projection techonology. As for the flame, this is the new normal for future Olympic Games Ceremonies. I'd give it a 6.4/10

    Won't happen at all.

    Another choice for cauldron lighter is Dylan Alcott who won 4 golds in Wheelchair tennis from 2008-21.

    The 2028 Olympics will be interesting after the 2024 elections
  9. BigVic
    The next few Olympics are good after Russia/Brazil/China in the last 8 years save for South Korea and Japan.
  10. BigVic
    Double Olympics in the Americas followed by Oceania. I think it'll be Vancouver 2030 and SLC 2034
  11. BigVic
    NBC aired the Opening Ceremony live in all time zones at 6:30AM ET Friday and it was streamed live on Peacock
  12. BigVic
    I can watch a replay for free on 7+ in Australia

    Will be simple and compact similar to the recent ones at Rio, Tokyo and Beijing (W). Don't expect big cauldrons anymore.

    The snowflake theme continued from PyeongChang 2018 when at the CC the flame was extinguished with a snowflake.
  15. BigVic
    I do like the Aussie team uniforms
  16. BigVic
    What I was expecting too. Transform the snowflake into a lantern with the glass panels filled with fireworks.

    Since London, Olympic cauldrons has gotten smaller with the exception of Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018
  18. BigVic
    The cauldron reminded me of the London cauldron. Wuhan 2019 had a good cauldron lighting too
  19. BigVic
    We had a break too after the fireworks
  20. BigVic
    The Montreal Olympics in which Australia won 0 gold medals which created the Australian Institute of Sport or the AIS
  21. BigVic
    I do like the projections. Reminds me of Vancouver 2010 and Rio 2016
  22. BigVic
    Nice execution of the parade of nations. Australia comes towards the back as this will be the case for the next 2 summer games in Paris and Los Angeles.
  23. BigVic
    Salt Lake was my first WOG I got into. Steven Bradbury’s gold medal
  24. BigVic
    Sochi and Vancouver were 3 hours long as both Ceremonies were done inside a domed stadium environment. Pyeongchang was 2 hours long.
  25. BigVic
    Performers in 2002 skated throughout the entire Opening Ceremonies with the football turf at Rice-Eccles Stadium ripped off and replaced with ice
