Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 _Vancouver_ Can hear rehearsal for Olympics opening outside my window ... sounds like Celine Dion singing Oh Canada ..... maybe .. not sure.. half a minute ago from web
baron-pierreIV Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 It seems the cauldron will be hidden till the last minute. I hope so. Well, yeah. But you know it's there!!
mr.x Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I'd imagine that it's near full-house tonight...a lot will be leaked, and I hope I don't read any of it!!! I know too much already...
Victor Mata Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Let's try to figure out where. My bet is it will come down from the toilet paper roll thingy.
Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 BIG SPOILER COMING IN! Pic of the actual rehearsal http://tweetphoto.com/11002238 The ice totem poles we've been told some days ago. PD: I loled at the comment '' I hate my dad right now.''
cormiermax Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Is the actual opening ceremony sold out?
Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Bah forget the last pic, this is a better and bigger one http://twitpic.com/12i6r8
stir.ts Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 They look a little odd, but I'm on my black berry. They are big! Its fun to see inside.
Citizen-Seth Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Where exactly with the athletes sit?
JasonJA Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 ****MAJOR SPOILER****cauldron***** ---------- ---------------------- ----------------------------- ---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Gretzky will light the cauldron. No surpize here I guess. Oh, and the "new" Canadian anthem really sucks, imo!
cormiermax Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 ^^^ Where did you get that information?
Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Umm..no . Wayne Gretzky was confirmed a couple of days ago to be one of the final torchbearers before reaching BC Place (along with Arnold Schwazenneger).
cormiermax Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Yeah in earlier reports there was nothing about some kind of new anthem... Edited February 11, 2010 by cormiermac
Faster Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Umm..no . Wayne Gretzky was confirmed a couple of days ago to be one of the final torchbearers before reaching BC Place (along with Arnold Schwazenneger). That was Walter Gretzkey, his dad.
Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 SPOILER http://twitpic.com/12icdr That looks like the parade of nations..also notice the main tribune in the north on which the GG and the IOC president will watch.
JasonJA Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Umm..no . Wayne Gretzky was confirmed a couple of days ago to be one of the final torchbearers before reaching BC Place (along with Arnold Schwazenneger). That's his dad, Walter. Wayne is lighting the cauldron, you can take it to the bank. I'm not pleased, would have preferred Betty Fox with a hologram of Terry....which, by the way, was seriously considered, and how the rumour started!

Anyway is that official info or what? And i hope he's not the one, i would prefer an olympic athlete over him.
cormiermax Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 OK im done will this form till the 12th, Talk to you then!
Torchbearer AA Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 SPOILER http://twitpic.com/12icdr That looks like the parade of nations..also notice the main tribune in the north on which the GG and the IOC president will watch. Wow, looks great! In which section is the main tribune?
Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Wow, looks great! In which section is the main tribune? I guess is that rectangular box on the tribunes in front of the poles (if you look closely you can see the olympic rings there)
Torchbearer AA Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I guess is that rectangular box on the tribunes in front of the poles (if you look closely you can see the olympic rings there) Yeah, I see that. I mean the section number in the stadium.
Ikarus360 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 New pic (i'm not even going to bother saying its a spoiler XD) http://twitpic.com/12ix1q I wonder whats that circular thing above the stage. Btw this is still a pic of the parade of nations apparently. For what i can see, the aboriginal themes of the ceremony will be mixed with the parade of nations segment. Besides that, nothing else was shown on the pics.
stir.ts Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Looks like "stuff" will come down out of the giant toilet paper roll. Maybe Celine! (I kid the Canadians) Edited February 11, 2010 by stirthesoul
