yoshi Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 So there are rings in the cauldron area...could this mean that the 'ring reveal' will happen outside? Could they be spreading their OC out of the stadium a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 So there are rings in the cauldron area...could this mean that the 'ring reveal' will happen outside? Could they be spreading their OC out of the stadium a little? No, no. no. That's NOT the only place where the rings will appear. The Big Cauldron area will be the Medals Plaza too, so that area will be lit every night for the Awards AND fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphacarter Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 To be honest those rings looks like the base of the fountain. There was an Instagram video of tenfountain being tested a while ago so I think those rings are just the spouts. And if they were rings, wouldn't the fountain obscure them? *the fountain dang phone keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illustrado Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Great shots of where it will all happen. This is probably the closest an OV will be to the center of action of any Games. It's literally a 5-minute walk. (I wonder who will buy/rent those units after the Games?) need more palm trees if the perfume commercial/handover ceremony was followed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacholympic Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 So... I guess the spouts should be in colors, don't they??? For moments I thought those rings could be fire rings on water at Sydney and Salt Lake style.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For moments I thought those rings could be fire rings on water at Sydney and Salt Lake style.... If they were fire rings, they wouldn't have painted the neck of the cauldron white. It would darken with all that soot from the flames. And I believe the IOC is rather conscious of the carbon imprints of its Games these days. The 3 caldera at the Innsbruck 2012 opening burned only at about 1:30; and then they shut them off quickly. The IOC had no heart attack over the 204 little flames of London. The one big Sochi cauldron should more than do its job as a symbolic beacon for these Games.

alphacarter Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 It's obviously the base of the fountain. There was a video of the fountain, so the water list one outta those holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) /\/\ very nice!! Very Bellagio but I hope when the waters rise higher than the flame, uhmmm....it won't put the flame out??? Or did they not think of that??? (Also, if one looks closely at the footage, notice that they ripped open part of the 'right wing.' I guess some last-minute or overlooked matters there.)
