theone Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 The stadium scoreboad is showing 19 minutes to go. Is it just me or does it really feel that Beijing's opening ceremony will not be as classy as Athens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Seven here has basicaly devoted its whole night's coverage so far to the lead-up. The hypes started to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Since 10 in the morning they show various documentaries about the Olympics.In 5 minutes they will start transmitting live from Beijing. We will watch the ceremony with our hearts open (as papaioannou said). GOOD LUCK BEIJING! Finally better late than never the good old BBC is just kicking off its coverage now. Prawn Crackers and a cup of Tea at the ready lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
