Olympian2004 511 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 If my alarm clock doesn't fail, I'll be around as well. Hell, who invented those time shifts? 3 a.m. Central European Time is an awful time, even if it's for watching an Olympic opening ceremony. Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I suppose you will wake up before the alarm clock goes, F. You will be very excited tomorrow night - I will go into bed at 8:00 pm therefore I get up good at 3:00 am on saturday - you have to watch an OC live Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1701 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I can join you afterwards since I will be having a few guests at home. Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I can join you afterwards since I will be having a few guests at home. awww - I love Opening Ceremony parties... My "first" Olympic Games started with a Sarajevo Opening Ceremony five o'clock coffee with a cake... The next was the Opening Ceremony night party for Los Angeles a half year later...

So it could even be that I'll do an all-nighter because if I get tired not before 11 p.m. (as usual), I can stay up as well. Link to post Share on other sites
NY20?? 98 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I won't comment throughout the entire Ceremony, but I'll probably drop in during the Parade of Nations and after it's over. I'm excited to watch an Olympic Ceremony LIVE for once. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rols 1902 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 It starts spot-on lunch-time in Sydney, so great timing. Might save my comments for the parade of nations, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 608 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Still praying they show it on national tv (they talked yesterday about the ceremonies secrecy on the news something which raised my hopes ) if not i'll try watching it on stream somewhere. It should start at 21:30 here. I'm going to comment mostly during the parade to enjoy the show Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I suppose that during the parade of nations, there won't be much to comment on already -- since in the Winter Games, it's traditionally quite at the beginning of the opening ceremony. And judging by that clip you posted, it comes early in the ceremony this time around, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tatsh 58 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'd like to know if is there any website where i can see the OC, because any channel incluiding forgrein tv won't have the Oc in Lima. and the time. This could be my first WOG OC live 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose you will wake up before the alarm clock goes, F.

Olympian2004 511 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'm somewhat relieved -- since now it's becoming more probable again that there are at least two final torchbearers (if not two final torchbearer teams), one for each Vancouver cauldron. And what did John Furlong say? "You can think about this as long as you’d like and you can think about the last moments of the ceremonies as long as you’d like and you’re not going to figure it out". Well, my guess is Jamie Salé and David Pelletier or Cindy Klassen and Gaetan Boucher. Maybe together with representatives of the four host First Nations (that is probably what Furlong means with "you're not going to figure it out"...). By the way, German TV channel ZDF showed some snippets from Wednesday's dress rehearsal just a couple of moments ago -- somehow it looked a little bit less impressive than the YouTube video but maybe only because the snippets were very short and consisted of only one camera angle each. Based on that preview, I can also leak the information SPOILER that the Canadian and the Olympic Flag will be hoisted on flagpoles à la Beijing -- with pressurised air being pushed out on the top so that the flags really fly -- even indoors. Oops, sorry -- wrong thread. One shouldn't open several tabs of the same website at a time... Link to post Share on other sites
cslopes54 36 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 could anyone tell me what time itll be broadcasted on Eastern Time? cuz im going thru my cables guide and nothing bout Olympics =\ , nbc right? Link to post Share on other sites
Dinhu4ever 27 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 So, thanks to Murphy and his stupid law, I'll most definitly drop by later. At least, it'll be fun. Link to post Share on other sites
Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) mhh - I think New York is 6 hours "after" Berlin - the OC starts around 03:00 am (CET) - then it must start at 09:00 pm (New York time) I just found it - the TV-coverage starts at 07:30 pm NBC - Olympics Schedule Edited February 12, 2010 by Citius Altius Fortius Link to post Share on other sites
