Nacholympic Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 3 hours ago, synergy said: Ceremonies | 'United by Emotion': Everything you need to know about the Opening Ceremony for Tokyo 2020 After the Olympic oath is taken by athletes, officials and coaches, and the Games are officially declared open, viewers can look forward to a spectacular artistic display as the flame enters the city's Olympic Stadium and the lighting of the Olympic cauldron takes place. It seems, and because they are not gathering athletes in the center of the stadium, the sequence will be Winter Olympics like: the parade first and then the show…. Despite we claim the lowest excitement ever for an Olympic edition; we are facing a historical Opening Ceremony Unlike previous Games, the cauldron will in fact be located away from the stadium and situated in Tokyo's waterfront city. It seems we are not going to see the cauldron inside the stadium and finally we will watch the lighting of the external cauldron: In Vancouver and Rio – and Lima for the Pan Am Games - we only witnessed the lighting of the internal cauldron, but the external lighting was not part of the show (and that was unfair taking in consideration the permanent cauldron were the external ones in those three cases) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
