intoronto Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Ha Viktor Ahn looks mad! He is not really Russian after all.
runningrings Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Did anyone else see Putin just having a chat to the person next to him during the national anthem?
intoronto Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Come on Putin sing your national anthem !
ofan Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Did anyone else see Putin just having a chat to the person next to him during the national anthem? Rude
Nacholympic Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Greatt Beggining!!!! Loving the hanging candles
yoshi Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Yup, I did. Little strange. They're coming out of the tube again, looks like.
intoronto Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 The Olympic flag is not flying "properly" like it struggled in Vancouver.
4gamesandcounting Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 A great start so far. Closings can drag a bit IMO so lets see where they go from here.
jimjam Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 that a very camp looking set of drummers
JMarkSnow2012 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Formation drumming- aimed pretty squarely at the US audience, I reckon
Nacholympic Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Still the military forces, looking like Soviets
Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Did anyone else see Putin just having a chat to the person next to him during the national anthem? "The person" next to Putin is Alexander Jurjewitsch Subkow - two times gold medal winner of Sochi in bobsleigh - he was the flag bearer for Russia at the OC
runningrings Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 "The person" next to Putin is Alexander Jurjewitsch Subkow - two times gold medal winner of Sochi in bobsleigh - he was the flag bearer for Russia at the OC Point stands they were talking during a national anthem - odd for anyone, lest the standing president of the host nation.
intoronto Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 So annoying CBC is taking so many commercial breaks. Flagbearers now.
Nacholympic Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 the pariticipating flags march in!!!
4seasonscentre Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 I still wonder how the individual audience lights are controlled.
intoronto Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Oh Canada's men's hockey team will be marching !
runningrings Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Formation drumming- aimed pretty squarely at the US audience, I reckon Aimed at the US? Formation drumming /tattoo is a huge part of Russian military culture - arguably far longer than it has had any presence in American culture.
yoshi Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Do the delegation flagbearers emerge in any order, or are they coming out at random, like the athletes will?
alphacarter Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 They're really butchering that earth projection with all the paths.
intoronto Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 Really CBC cutting to an interview.
4seasonscentre Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Oh Canada's men's hockey team will be marching ! I think they said the coach would be marching, but I am pretty sure the NHL players are on their way back to North America already.
