Rob2012 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I liked both the Olympic and Paralympic versions of the anthem - they've both fitted the mood of their ceremonies well. But the thing I love of the Brazilian National Anthem is its tempo, the fact nobody who sings it can ever keep up! You didn't get that in either ceremony.

In that case - Sydney's 2000 OC began at 7pm local time. Commercial break now on Channel 4 in the UK. 7pm Sydney time would be 8pm in New Caldeonia (and various other places). 6:15 pm in Rio doesn't seem to be 8:15 pm anywhere.

gamesnz Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 This ceremony has a great feel to it. I like it!! P.s. I'm strangely enjoying the entry of the athletes. Haven't yet gotten up to do something else. It must be the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rominger Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hey everyone. Inside the stadium. Great so far. Much more Rio related than the Olympic ceremony. Nothing to complain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Helps that the teams are smaller, also they are circling the stadium not down through middle of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
