This for the Athletes' Constellations segment was simply brilliant...

That, right there, was the best part of the ceremony... The final moments of the "Imperial Ball" and entrance of the Red Train.

I didn't like it very much... It reminded me a lot of other ceremonies. The Soviet engines reminded Sydney's Tin Simphony, only a little bit more red. The little girl reminded me of Nikki Webster. The pillars were like a mixture of London's chimneys and Beijing's pillars. Too many little, but visible, flaws... Oh, and I hate floor projections...

I love these making of pictures... They turned out good, but I still think the Pan Am pictograms were better...

No, it's not. A large part of society is now opposing the hosting of the World Cup and the Olympics. Back in 2007, during the bid, the government promised not to use public money to build stadiums, but now the bill is up to BRL 28 billion. People realized these events will not improve the lives of the common citzen, but only make more money for big companies and contractors. And this is not an opposition campaign. The mass demonstrations even hostilized political groups trying to raise political parties flags... This is not political, it is spontaneous. The protests are becoming anti-systemic, not anti-government... Brazilians are trying to say that representative democracy has failed, and politicians no longer represent the people.

Today was a historic day for Brazil! We haven't seen anything like this for decades...

Does anyone have a link for Chicago's 2016 Bid book in PDF?

I LOVE YOU!

I really need the Sochi 2014 Bid book online... But for free! Where can I find it??!

I appreciate that, but I already found it. Anyway, thanks again!

Do you know where can I find Vancouver's 2010 bid book?

Thank you, intoronto!

Does anyone have saved (links) of Application files in PDF of previous bids? Such as from the Applicant cities bidding for the 2014 Winter Olympics or the 2012 Summer Olympics... Anyway, thank you!

I only saw it during basketball matches and fencing (animated on the screen). Well, unlike London's, we could se Beijing's logo frequently...

I don't understand why such a flexible logo in usage and application almost didn't appear during the Games, at least on TV broadcast...

There are people selling it on the internet: R$1,00 coin for R$7,00 (US$ 3,46) - 2.016.000 unities issued. R$1,00 coin (with Blister) for R$30,00 (US$14,81) - 80.000 issued. R$5,00 collectors coin for R$290,00 (US$143,15) - 20.000 issued.

I need one of those!

The Olympic Flag arrived in Rio de Janeiro: http://globotv.globo...omento/2087445/ http://globotv.globo...impica/2087437/

That was fun! I liked it. Everybody having fun...

I'm ashamed of the handover segment...

It 8 minutes of Rio in live online stream in USA... You might say.

Couldn't resist... Haha. Sorry.

Seriously, I'm getting really excited about this Closing Ceremony, especially after reading some spoilers... Some years ago I dreamed of the Spice Girls singing "Spice Up Your Life" at the Olympics...

Looks like it will be better than the Opening Ceremony... Where is Adele?
