I agree, they never light the Cauldron at dress rehearsals. They usuually have separate late night rehearsals for the Cauldron. I was just commenting I spotted it just spotted it earlier hanging there behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Often they use volunteers, school children, community groups, etc to play the part of athletes for timing purposes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm very surprised the organisers have not made much attempt to hide it. Still, waiting for the big moment in Friday's OC is what I'm looking forward to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AustralianFan 51 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Its amazing that someone in the Stadium right now is hosting a worldwide telecast in the palm of his hand. Had never heard of Periscope before now, but amazing how the technology has changed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baron-pierreIV 1693 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 So, what's the word, neneu? On a scale of 1 - 10 (and forget for a moment that you're Brazilian), how would rate the show?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 598 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 A lot of people who were calling this a disaster these days are now apparently praising this ceremony. For what I saw... It will be pretty much a summer version of Vancouver's opening. Lots of projections but also many good human performances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
