Just one day to finish the YOG 2018... And my big question is... Do YOG have future???

For me it was a lot better than I expected... Anyway and taking in consideration it is a new "concept" of an opening ceremony, it was not bad after all. It was modern and original. I loved the soundtrack, indeed! The segments were very slow one after all and yeah, agree with you Ikarus, it looked for times, pretty idorganized, specially the flag entrance... I expected something very boring, but it wasn't ... Projections on the obelisk were cool and the representations of the sports were cool, but it was a show clearly thought for TV audiences, because I think few eople could enjoy it at the site. Yeh, I approved the show, the music and the ilumination which was cool... but I really hopr it is a break between ceremonies, because nothing can top a ceremony in a stadium... It was all and It should stay in this... no more "inclusive ceremonies"... After watching YOG ceremonies and Jakarta Para Asian OC, I can conclude the best ceremony of this year was Gold Coast... Cool Buenos Aires!

Anyone watching the OC?

Today, as it happened on August 19, 2017 with Taipei and Kuala Lumpur, it's also a "double ceremony day". In adition to YOG OC in Buenos Aires, the Para Asian Games took place in Jakarta!

Closing Ceremony of 1994 Commonwealth Games held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on August 28 at Centennial Stadium.

Yeah... I think it has been the year of "Simple" ceremonies... due to the ongoing and rising protests wherever any Multisport event take part. Next Saturday is the YOG Opening Ceremony in Buenos Aires, which we should have very low expectations and can not expect, in any case, they top Nanjng. A new style of "Open space" ceremony such as the Argentinian one, is the snwer of what I've previously said. In Argentina's particular case, the games take part in the worst moment ever for any international event... Flashy little Gold Coast put on a classy opening ceremony, a great new model for an affordable Commonwealth Games, No doubt it will be THE ceremony of this year... Personally speaking I am stunned by it... by its simplicity, but extraordinary TV show as it was... Of course, critics about the show were focused on the segments that were not well seen at the stauim itself, but what we coud see on TV was a truly perfect live show, affordable, elegant, artistic, amazingly talented with no huge mass coreogrpahies nor wowing technology... but so carefuly created and extremely artistic... which can be (no doubt) a precedent for "affordable games ceremonies" for them not to be visually poor and boring... So far we have seen the worst ceremonies in years (when is still Buenos Aires to see) such as both FIFA World Cup ceremonies (will Qatar cotinue this line when is their opotunity to open their doors for the first time im history to the world?) Anyway, soccer events are not concerned about ceremonies, as they were in the past (Korea Japan, France or even Spain and South Africa World Cups) ... For the South American Games (or Odesur Games) held in Cochabamba, Bolivia ... are just to forget.. as Central American Games in Barranquilla... What were supossed to be the greatest ceremonies of the year, in PyeongChang, were also "afected" by this ongoing "anger" of local people in the host cities: simple and visually atratctive. Not to be remembered as one of the greatest ones, but the significance the join of the two Koreas, which can also be part of the political issue bewteen them... In my personal opinion, we could see that the Paralympics opening ceremony surpased the Olympic ceremonies themselves... we could see something very close to it for the Paralymic Opening Ceremony of Rio, where there were some parts more attractive ans visually more stunning than the Olympic ones... We can not close the year yet, we are some days away from Buenos Aires YOG OC... there is something to be said yet.. .

In June this year, was held the Opening Ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in Moscow, Russia. According to me, one of the worst ceremonies ever held!!!! No full version of it is availale on YouTube yet, but not much ceremonies fan are going to miss it. Nevertheless, and from the other side of the coin, here is one of the best opening ceremony for a FIFA World Cup: Spain 1982, held in Barcelona at Camp Nou Stadium which is available on the historic archives of TVE web page. Link here and enjoy! http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/programas-y-concursos-en-el-archivo-de-rtve/168557-i10513-futbol-campeonato-20170223143245384-hq/3924525/
