    The snowflake theme continued from PyeongChang 2018 when at the CC the flame was extinguished with a snowflake.

    I do like the Aussie team uniforms
  3. 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

    The cauldron reminded me of the London cauldron. Wuhan 2019 had a good cauldron lighting too
  6. BigVic
    We had a break too after the fireworks

    The Montreal Olympics in which Australia won 0 gold medals which created the Australian Institute of Sport or the AIS

    I do like the projections. Reminds me of Vancouver 2010 and Rio 2016

    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.

    Salt Lake was my first WOG I got into. Steven Bradbury’s gold medal
  11. BigVic
    Sochi and Vancouver were 3 hours long as both Ceremonies were done inside a domed stadium environment. Pyeongchang was 2 hours long.
  12. BigVic
    Performers in 2002 skated throughout the entire Opening Ceremonies with the football turf at Rice-Eccles Stadium ripped off and replaced with ice
  13. BigVic
    PyeongChang's Opening Ceremony was just over 2 hours due to the cold weather and the Olympic Stadium was in the elements.

    Also the recently-completed Tokyo 2020 Summer Games (aka Tokyo 2021) was held in East Asia. So 6
  15. BigVic
    Nagano, 1998, Beijing 2008, PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022, Sapporo 2030? That would be 5 Olympics in the last 32 years to be held in East Asia
  16. BigVic
    Almaty was the other option for the 2022 Winter Olympics along with eventual winner Beijing.
  17. BigVic
    It's the ice cube now there is a curling rink
  18. BigVic
    The 2008 cauldron will be the one which stays alight during the games while a small Ceremonial cauldron will be inside the Bird's Nest.
  19. BigVic
    Paris 2024 organisers will have to fix the transport issues to get 600,000 to and from the Seine on the evening of the Opening Ceremony. 1.5 million people lined up Sydney Harbour (a typical NYE) on the night of the Closing Ceremony just to watch the fireworks.
  20. BigVic
    The outdoor segment of the Closing Ceremony which was held at the conclusion of the Stadium Ceremony at Stadium Australia
  21. BigVic
    Sydney had part of their Closing Ceremony outdoors so nothing new at all.
  22. BigVic
    It'll be the first Summer Olympics to use two venues for the Ceremonies. Milan-Cortina will also use dual venues as with LA 2028
  23. BigVic
    The 2010 Asian Games Opening Ceremony in Guangzhou, China took place at the Pearl River rather than the Guangdong Olympic Stadium which was well-recieved with even the late IOC President Jacques Rogge saying it was better than the Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony. An outdoor Ceremony also took place at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires
  24. BigVic
    Saw bits of the Nanjing 2014 OC. China always know how to put on a show.
  25. BigVic
    Will be a big event in Australia with Brisbane 2032 being 4 years after. The Opening Ceremony will take place on 22 July 2028 due to time difference between Sydney and LA
