Olympian2004 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 What does that segment mean? I didn't listen to the commentators... I remember the "Who has seen the wind?" segment of Vancouver now - but it was much more moving, with "Both Sides Now" and the boy hovering above the wheatfield.

Olympian2004 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 OK, the German commentator said that it was a symbol for mortality, this segment. This is very much like the "Who has seen the wind" segment of Vancouver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Brace yourselves, folks - the German commentator just said something about the cauldron lighting. He said that those boys to the left of the flagbearers carry flower petals made of steel. And he said that those petals (one for each team) will play a role later in the cauldron lighting! Maybe you folks who thought that the ticket design shows the cauldron lighting weren't that wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
