Olympian2004 511 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's rather Swan Lake, cslopes. Beautiful imagery - great innovative idea, the dove barbecue of Seoul really was a blessing for all the creative minds of the world who had to create new dove segments.

alphacarter 31 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 That was some really beautiful imagery. Great idea and executed well! Not quite the norm but it worked nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 And it seems to have gotten into fashion to have not only athletes but also people from civic society, arts and politics carry the flag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FYI 1206 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Haha, nice to hear that constant German accent by Bach, regardless whether he speaks English or French. Of course this is also a bit of a proud moment for me as a German, if we can't win the Games, we can at least win the IOC presidency. Interesting to read your comment. Which I can understand & agree with, but it goes against Athensfan's logic in saying that the IOC presidency is only an achievement for the individual, & not necessarily for the nation from which he is a national of. Particularly in the discussions of electing host cities & the presidency in the same IOC session. Can apply that logic to Spain as well. It quite apparent that they can't get another Summer Olympics so soon, but at least they can boast that JAS was the second longest president to have held the top spot in the sporting world.

Rominger 26 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's rather Swan Lake, cslopes. Beautiful imagery - great innovative idea, the dove barbecue of Seoul really was a blessing for all the creative minds of the world who had to create new dove segments. And yet no one here in Brazil recalls that "dove barbecue" when it comes to the doves of peace segment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olympian2004 511 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Now they have to walk veeeeeery slowly so that they can finish the introduction of the flagbearers. I knew that that way from the gate to the flagpole is way too short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
