JMarkSnow2012 387 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm thinking the audience pixels were definitely a good idea for this stadium. With them turned off, it feels (as I noted during the OC) really small and intimate; the pixels add scale when appropriate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm wondering whether that athlete from France will carry his teammate around during the whole parade - if yes, I guess that many doping athletes will want to know his secret. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's at least on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC1e--DVt8s From what I could gather via Google so far, the singer is an ambassador of Pyeongchang 2018 and he published the song "in support of the Games" - so it doesn't seem like THE official theme song.

Yes, I always find it confusing for the international audience when there are songs or a lot of untranslated talking in the host country's language (unless that's English). I guess that most of the athletes don't know what's going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 605 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 So the Pagoda prop from the spoilers was always meant for the closing. Liked the combination of rock music and traditional instruments on that segment. Welcoming segment was cute, showing above looks from the venues and at least an olympic rings formation which was genuine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was apparently the song that was played during the Games montage, according to the German commentator. I've heard of that song for the first time now, during the final hours of the Games. I was saying the same in my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 353 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Due to the perils of supermarket shopping & iPlayer's watch from start function, I am approximately 30 minutes behind you all. I feel like a Southern train. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True. As a matter of fact, this is the first Olympic Winter Games closing ceremony since Torino 2006 where don't have to mock themselves due to an opening ceremony glitch. Disappointing actually, those segments always were some of the most entertaining of the entire ceremonies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
