They're keeping Rio's theme of small cauldrons that don't damage the environment. Good on them. I also like the idea being Mount Fuji with the sun rising being the cauldron. Now this is why I'm excited! By the way, can you share the source/account? Maybe they'll post more stuff in the next days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 It better not be an electronic cauldron like they did for Napoli Universiade. So underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacholympic Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Despite the lighting of the cauldron is the highest point of the ceremony, I like the idea of having small nonpolluting cauldrons. I have always thought it’s such a waste of resources using giant cauldrons when they are merely a symbol. Even more, I think the torch relay should be reconsidered after seeing the growing lack of interest in the latest edition of Olympics and regional games – attending the covid crisis and the low support of these games in Japan, this torch relay has been the coldest ever! The original planned ceremony shows the cauldron lighting pretty alike Lima 2019 style. Even before Rio, the small cauldron started to be tendency since London 2012, followed by Toronto 2015 and then Buenos Aires 2018, Lima 2019 and Napoli 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 to me it looks like the sun rising from the mountain and then it may open up into a blossom with the flame coming out. side note: i'm tired of projection mapping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US and Australian flags and their respective anthems should also be played on the night of the Closing Ceremony as Los Angeles, CA, USA and Brisbane, QLD, Australia are to become hosts for the 2028 and 2032 games. I don’t see the reason why they have to raise US and Australian flags when they are the upcoming games after Paris. In the closing ceremony the French anthem should be played and France flag should be raised. And for being an exceptional edition and for having with few months for the upcoming Winter Games, a special mention for Beijing 2022 should be presented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. They were OK in Vancouver, Sochi and Rio and a lot of regional games and other sports event ceremonies. Even Lima 2019 was not mapping centered, but just as a support.

I don’t say the torch relay should end, but there must be reconsidered in a new style… visiting foundations, shortened in time, creating more participation in the places where it is carried… I don’t know… new ideas for a new world order. It’s is clear the classical relay by running on streets no longer attract people’s and media attention. If it wasn’t for internet, I wouldn´t have any idea that a Olympic flame relay is currently taking place in Japan… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji and the sphere of upper part is sun or globe, it's very poor idea and I am very dissapointed. I can easily imagine an announcer narrating too exaggeratedly on the live of NHK.Real Fujiyama and sun that you actually see in Tokyo are more beautiful than this!

BigVic Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 The cauldron is covered like in Beijing 2008. During the parade of Atheltes, it was secretly put into its location which wasn't revealed until the moment Li Ning lit the wick after he completed the lap around the rim of the Bird's Nest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 So does this all mean they're going with MIKIKO'S proposal after all, it wasn't rejected but just leaked? Would explain why nothing else escaped beyond those few pages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver was the first ceremony to use projections on the stage and also the first Indoor Olympic Games Ceremony. Projections will likely be used in Tokyo. The Mikiko proposal outlines the use of projections in its Ceremony plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2005 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was hoping for a big cauldron like in the old games.... so that people inside and outside the stadium can see it burning for the duration of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
