JMarkSnow2012 387 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 This is getting quite freaky now. I'm watching and listening to the BBC "no commentary" version on projection, but I 've also got a television tuned to the standard BBC version, muted, with subtitles switched on- and the subtitles are going absolutely crazy during the Parade.

Every athlete at these Games has been given a seed and they will plant a small forest. It's a nice legacy idea actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ofan 696 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Interesting ceremony so far. But it's only been 50 minutes. There must be some more artistic segments to come after the parade? Also missing: a tribute to past Olympics in the countdown, and the Olympic rings. A very bizarre, non-traditional, yet strangely highly entertaining ceremony thus far. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a gift to each nation of an indigenous Brazilian tree/plant to bring back home. Try getting that through customs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A very bizarre, non-traditional, yet strangely highly entertaining ceremony thus far. A lot of the recent ceremonies have lasted that time (40-45 minutes actually). The longest one was Beijing's I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
