There's probably more people in that carnival parade than athletes.

I wonder if there are any Pokestops in that stadium...

Good question. Those ever-changing Cubes could be hiding an entire gym

I'm so bored jesus christ

Could someone tell me who these singers are? Because the CBC commentators are incapable of doing so. 

[kevzz]

With so much dancing singing and carnival in opening ceremony, what are they going to do in the closing ceremony then??

[Ikarus360]

This segment is called Carnival Olimpico. Now lots of confetti and the lights in Box City have turned off. I hav a feeling this is a transition for the appearance of the cauldron.

That was a weak mini carnaval! I wanted to see some floats!!! And the outfits were very dull compared to the ones used in a carnaval!

Caetano Veloso, Anitta and Gilberto Gil.

Wow there is like not athletes there. Shocking.

[hektor]

Can someone with a big screen tv decipher the singer's tattoos ?

I think I see a ton of Picachus in the middle of the stadium.

[kevzz]

Where's all the athletes gone? Bit disrespectful to all leave in throngs

February already? 

[Olympic Fan Darcy]

Good description, more like a closing then an opening ceremony

[Sir Rols]

We've had Girl from Ipanema, but I'll still feel short changed if we don't get Mas que nada.

I'm guessing we'll see proper floats in the Closing Ceremony.
