TorchbearerSydney Posted February 13, 2014 Report Posted February 13, 2014 Well, it also allows Closing to have a few rehearsals they normally wouldn't in a Summer situation. That would also inlude the incoming Handover segment. It will all make for a better show. Very true- I wonder how much staging will PSY need in the handover?
olympiaki-agones Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 I hope they try to re-open the unfolded Olympic rings from the opening ceremony.
SkiFreak Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 Ozkar, those could also be new girders for lights. After the fiasco of the preparation for the winter games, they decided to get an early start for the next big event. Those are goal posts for the world cup.
Lord David Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 I hope they try to re-open the unfolded Olympic rings from the opening ceremony. They might try that, but it might be a risk in that it could fail a 2nd time! Double toilets, double embarrassment, double the Olympic rings failure!
baron-pierreIV Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Posted February 14, 2014 I hope they try to re-open the unfolded Olympic rings from the opening ceremony. No, they won't. #1 - It's too Vancouver; and #2 - it NEVER happened. The Russian home audience never saw it happen. Therefore, how can you "correct" a mistake that never occurred??
Lord David Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 What do you mean the Russian home audience never saw it happen? Wasn't it shown live? I thought that edited footage by Russian TV was done for news reports only. So if much of Russia was glued to the Opening Ceremonies live, then surely they would have seen the mistake.
alphacarter Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 I'd like to see the footage they saw. I wonder what the rings would've looked like, with the "white" fire.
Victor Mata Posted February 14, 2014 Report Posted February 14, 2014 They Russian feed showed footage of the rehearsal without glitch but it was no secret there about the ring fail. Chernychenko and the IOC, at the press conference following the ceremony, explained the little emergency was somewhat predicted a few moments before it happened and directors decided to switch the tape. And about the double loo... Childish journalism rumour: http://www.vocativ.com/01-2014/putins-royal-flush-ends-now/
JMarkSnow2012 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 I'd like to see the footage they saw. I wonder what the rings would've looked like, with the "white" fire. They just got very very bright for a few seconds; there was no attempt at a "cascade" effect.
