  1. The horse looks good until they show it close up and give away the trick after hours of not showing athletes on boats close up.
  2. This is why he had the elections before the Olympics. Darkness falling showing they should have started later. Overall ditching the stadhas been the huge mistake - it feels like a covid ceremony with no crowd.
  3. Was wondering about the French verdict. I recall with London 2012 not everyone around the world understood it was the best ceremony ever.
  4. But it's already dragged out longer than normal and feels like we're barely half way through it.
  5. Those in the stands at the Eiffel Tower must be even more bored than us and checking the T&Cs to see how they get a refund.
  6. The most entertaining thing about this so far are the "Stop the Boats" memes.
  7. I'd be quite happy for the BBC to cut to a three hour teleshopping presentation. And to think this is the ceremony NBC chose to show live and ad free. It's a ceremony perfect for the edit suite.
  8. This is truly terrible- I thought it might be a disaster but expected it to at least be an entertaining disaster. This is just dull, poorly filned with zero atmosphere.
  9. By this point in London 2012 we'd had the pandemodium sequence, forging of the Olympic Rings and the Queen jumping out of a helicopter.
  10. Well London can already be condident it won't be topoed. The worst start to an opening ceremony I can recall. Even the awful Commonwealth Fames ceremonies of 2014 and 2018 were better than this.
  11. The athletes are clearly hating this. Most look miserable compared to the reaction we see when they enter the Olympic Stadium. Flagbearees lost amongst it and now they've cut to Lady Gaga.
  12. A few boats in already clear this was a terrible idea. Athletes being denied their moment and it looks awful on TV.
  13. In terms of river events it has to beat the Millennium River of Fire and Golden Jubilee Pageant - both of which were disasters. I'm not very hopeful.
  14. Wish they'd waited till it was darker. The build up on broadcasters not being in the stadium has lacked the usual sense of anticipation of the event.
  15. Not a fan of this red carpet nonsense - it's not the bloody Oscars.
  16. Exactly, and really odd of Games Bids to be promoting it. "Entrepreneur" seems generous.
  17. Can't really blame them for saying no.
  18. Maybe Cathy Freeman, Ian Thorpe, Grant Hackett and Steve Hooker could all run towards the cauldron with a torch each, trip over and then get overtaken by Stephen Bradbury who gets to light the flame.
