Citius Altius Fortius 560 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have the opening ceremony of Albertville in very good memories - it was really extraordinary!!! I like the way how the different sports were "introduced" to the audience - I remember a kind of rocker, which was used for luge - the rocker became a chute - and the luge dashed out of the rocker/chute and slider over the floor of the stadium... Or the fantastic extravagant costumes - my favourite ones, where the stilt walker in red with white gallons, which hovered over their heads.. And I loved the idea of the snowball bubble ladies, with the name of the entering nation during the entrance ceremony!!! Link to post Share on other sites

baron-pierreIV 1693 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is it the MAIN or one of the secondary cauldrons that is at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne? Where's Magique? I like him!! Link to post Share on other sites
demetrius 29 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Here is Magique! about the cauldron, it's very difficult to say, I think it is one of the (many ) secondary cauldrons (may be the one in Val d'Isère), I really don't know but it still looks beautiful!

markun 74 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I liked the music for the athletes' parade although the rhyming introductions were painful! Link to post Share on other sites
