So, I think it’s a no on the two stadium concept. they might just do the ceremony on SoFi and the lighting at the coliseum. Maybe via drone or rocket man ala LA 84

I think drag and lgbtq+ will be in the LA28 OC I would inagine Rupaul whole discography for the athletes parade

Open ceremonies can both be niche. The London olympics had the industrial revolution and Eastenders. in my opening we already have an USA etal OC (1984) and an anniversary OC (1998). LA should be allowed to go deep into their weird references. Have a whole segment aBout reverting water into LA. or the flying nun.

I think an LA/California focused ceremony is better than an America centric one because that’s 1984. We already have a welcome to America ceremony. Let’s have welcome to California. it should include -Cowboys -the gold rush -Spanish mission -Zorro -Rupaul -Apple -Hollywood -Silicon Valley -Compton -the wizard of oz -barbie -NASA -tupac -the beach boys -elvis -pink pony club -lady gaga -black eyed peas -Olivia Rodrigo -picture brides -ceasar chavez -Larry Itliong also, i think the theme of the ceremony should be about immigration. People have come here from all over the world how have made and is still making (California ) America great.

This solidifies my theory that the opening ceremony is a parade. It starts at La memorial. And ends in sofi. Temporary structures outside sofi stadium. You will have stages at points of the route

Look like we’re getting a ‘live via satellite’ handover. I’m going to troll instagram ‘Venice beach’ to see if you can get spoilers

^both are great but i think white old men will not be the next IOC PRESIDENT my money is on mikee cojuanco. https://olympics.com/ioc/mrs-mikaela-cojuangco-jaworski other than the obvious problems of the olympics like cost, feasibility and legacy, the witch hunt masquerading as a way to ‘protect’ woman that is the ‘trans debate’ is still looming huge to the public consciousness . What better way to wash the IOC of those issues than electing a woman.

Hand-overs don’t reflect the OC of the host country. They’re mostly just there to introduce the next host country. LA hand over was ok. And it will be better in the oc. Just like in london, greece, atlanta, etc.

Paris has more pre-filmed scenes than london. The lady gaga number, the minions, the threesome. London used it sparingly or as a title card for the next scene

Just remember this short film from Disney. Some of this might be included in the OC/CC

I’m betting on them doing a parade ceremony. Start at the la memorial with the countdown and lighting of the 1984 cauldron. Then have parade float for the athletes ala rose bowl parade. Ending at sofi with a purpose built raisers. And the 2028 cauldron. The problem with the paris OC is it was in the water. I’M sure the parade will run much more smoothly in the road. (Just look at the paralympic OC)
