Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 What is it that in all recent Olympic closing ceremonies, they failed to make the extinguishing of the cauldron really emotional ans sad? I think that this was rather strange than anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 And apparently the ceremony now draws to a close, according to the German TV commentator. And the iconic "Cidade Maravilhosa"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Just now, hektor said: Why would you want to make it sad? Because it should be a sad moment - the extinguishing of the flame is usually the emotional pinnacle of every closing ceremony, putting symbolically an end to the Games.

Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 All this dancing looks really stale if you see empty seats and largely indifferent athletes and/or spectators in the background... This was a lot more festive and happy in the opening ceremony, especially during "Pais Tropical"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olympian2004 511 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 How does it feel for a Brazilian/Carioca to see those carnival performances in August, by the way? Like Christmas at the totally wrong time of year - or do you enjoy it at every time of the year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
