Ikarus360 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 The flagpoles were probably the worst thing i've seen on the OC xD And now a minute of silence for Georgia.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Now that was a powerful performance! I'm just surprised that they didn't use the Greek lyrics. And didn't they rehearse the flag hoistings. The pressured air seems to be too weak to make the flag fly. Or a rope has spoiled the fun again. And what a contrast -- first the powerful Olympic Anthem, then the moment of silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY20?? Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 The Canadian flag got tangled earlier in the ceremony. So I think they might have lowered the amount of "breeze" for the Olympic flag so it would match the Canadian one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
