They'll post both ceremonies a few weeks after the games closed

This story is becoming interesting https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/23/celine-dion-perform-paris-olympics-publicly-1st-time-since-stiff-person-syndrome-diagnosis/?adid=social-fb&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1NoNdzB0r7DXxM8MhTMbQHylISF8X7b4_cLoiOxQzGY0lJ2ear7AGaXMk_aem_--WCJU7K0ypycZ6Xa8Zf3Q

This was a preview of the Closing Ceremony I'll be surprised if it wasn't

Well it looks like that Samaranch is going to be the next president of the IOC.

Does anybody know where I can watch the full international broadcast?

You meant AT&T Stadium Empower Field at Mile High is in Denver

Does anybody know where I can download old FIFA World Cup matches?

That's why I believe the IOC is going to come to a handshake agreement with SLC and like you said I think that the IOCwil do a double allocation that will give Sapporo 2030 and SLC in 2034.

I don't know if y'all read this story but I have a feeling that the IOC and Salt Lake City are going to come to a gentlemen's agreement that SLC will host the 2034 games before the Beijing Games open a la Brisbane. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1113857/salt-lake-city-2030-governing-board

That's why I believe the IOC is going to do a double allocation giving SLC in 2034 and I think Sapporo is going to get 2030 cause it very likely they are going to bid

The dates for the lighting and the handover ceremony for the Olympic Flame has been set https://hoc.gr/en/node/3188

it's the same with Salt Lake City and Vancouver

Well I hope they play this version of the national anthem for the handover ceremony during the Closing Ceremony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUJxw6vj4q4

At first, I thought that these games probably cancelled at the last minute but they have been somewhat good. The competition was exceptional even though there was no crowds which I believe makes the games more special. But thanks to COVID-19 and the Japanese government ineptitude for not getting people vaccinated in time to watch them in person somehow someway they pulled it off. I wouldn't put these games on the level of Sydney, Athens, Beijing or London. I wouldn't put them anywhere near the class of Barcelona in 1992 but these games should be called the "Perseverance Games" cause the athletes have waited for 5 years since Rio for their moment and they have made it. Simone and Naomi put mental health on the world's biggest sporting stage telling the athletes saying "it's okay not to be okay" and yet still performed at their highest level. I would give these games a B-. I hope 6 months from now the Winter Games in Beijing will more memorable but other than that the athletes and the games have persevered.

Does anybody know what time does the opening ceremonies start on February 4 and the closing ceremonies on the 20th?

Go to this website this is the OBS Version https://archive.org/details/tokyo-2020-opening-ceremony-23-july-2021

The thing is that the IOC will think that 2030 will be too soon after LA 2028 so I think that they will come to an agreement that Salt Lake will host in 2034.

They should have gotten Ric Birch or Don Mischner to produce the ceremony but they probably would have done the same thing with the cauldron

yeah, the IOC made this decision back in 2019 https://olympics.com/ioc/news/future-olympic-hosts-to-gain-prominence-in-athletes-parades

Now that Brisbane's officially been named host of the Games of the 35th Olympiad in 2032, we expect that the final four nations to enter the stadium at Friday's opening ceremony will be Australia, USA, France, and Japan.

So get used to these scenes on your TVs for the next 2 weeks

Here's the venues somewhat dressed up since there won't be no fans

You can also blame the Japanese Government at fault because they're the one bleeped up and slowed the rollout of the vaccine

They might not and here's why https://japantoday.com/category/tokyo-2020-olympics/VIPs-allowed-at-Olympic-opening-ceremony-but-no-fans-report

Where can I find the story that they switched the 10k from Tokyo to Sapporo?
