Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Bach's speech was at least fairly short. But, of course, he didn't address the doping problem. What a coward! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jiejie 31 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 "...Call upon the youth of the world...." Isn't that an outdated notion in 2016, when you've got medalists in their 30's, 40's and even 50's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Oh, and how much I love that bossa rhythm! Nice to know that we will probably hear some more of Brazil's great music in two more ceremonies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're on Atlanta level now guys. Since Samaranch is out of office, no IOC president has ever used the term "best Games ever" again. It was a Samaranch trademark.

Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 That looks as if it's intentional - and weird The camera work is a bit strange, too - one camera only produced a very blurry and shaky image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
