So imprresive and original... only start with the floor carpet covering on... even tll today, ceremonies resemble Barcelona's... Take a look on EYOF Tbilisi, Georgia 2015 Opening Ceremony.... - but you didn't mention the elephant in the room. How does anybody these days avoid being a pale imitation of Beijing?

I mean Sydney did a mini-falls; Rio could've gone with a full-scale recreation of the Dancing Iguazu Falls Waters!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely full of resources but none saw anything new... 1 It had the use of FIRST applied 3-D optical technology for a LIVE performance. A copy of Barcelona would be great, but with Day-Glo costumes. That would be new and affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was Athens's OC budget? I reckon it was smaller than Sydney or London judging by the no. of props. Yet it is still the most spectacular and beautiful ceremony ever. Even beating Beijing by miles and miles. Hope this proves there's still hope for small budget ceremony? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they used a waterfalls also at the Rio 2007 Opening. I have never seen that Ceremony in full. AH, then they wouldn't have repeated it this time since it was already done there.

Pyongchang 2028. No; the USSR was a state that could easily afford a Summer Games. They had the manpower and the sporting heritage to support it. (I left WOGs out of that list.) Beijing does not count; China supports already the 2nd biggest economy in the world by 2006 or thereabouts; they are #2 in medals, so China is NOT a pauper country to stage an Olympic Games. And since the 1990s, So. Korea is considered a developed economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Kind of late question, but are there news of how the Olympic Anthem will be performed? (I have a feeling it will be an instrumental version again like London's, for some reason). Also will arrangements of the national anthems of each country will be made like in London and Athens?

Come on guys! It seems you have never visited an exposition or a Museum... If you expect to find machines and robots in a Fine Art Museum.... you can probably expect a ceremony full of robots display.... I'm sorry to report guys as someone who works in tv Technology is the new art for the the audience the games are trying to connect with. it's all about the millennials now. the ones addicted to their phones, iPads and playstation. The ones that don't actually play sports but can program a toaster to do jumping jacks. The IOC and the various hosting committees of recent years like most organizations in the entertainment world have to figure a way to not only get young people in the coveted 18-35 yr old demographic but also to keep them. It's become increasingly hard now with competition not only from other tv programs but also the internet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How a millennial or a senior watches or pays attention to the sports coverage is really secondary. I mean are they going to require smaller athletes so they would look proportional on your iPhone screen?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
