Olympian2004 511 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 And now the handover. Let's see whether Zhang Yimou will stage yet another slightly overblown spectacle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olympian2004 511 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 And now the Chinese anthem. It seems like yesterday that it was played during an Olympic opening or closing. Oh well, it was yesterday!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olympian2004 511 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 And yet another futuristic dance segment with modern music and fancy projections. I believe that after those three Asian Olympics in a row, we won't be able to distinguish them anymore, at least ceremony-wise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SkiFreak 123 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I hope there's going to be more swag available here for Beijing 2022 around here. In 2008 they released more than half a dozen music albums, drinking glasses at McDonald's (which are now missed as a sponsor) and pins at HBC. 2018 was dry on swag.

Ikarus360 605 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Zhang Yimou wasnt lying when he said he was going to be futuristic this time instead of history lesson. Also, is that Ode to Motherland in the background? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympian2004 511 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Isn't the song that "Ode to the Motherland" that was infamously performed in Beijing by that girl who was too ugly (according to the organisers) to perform it live, so they cast that cute lip-synching girl?

Ikarus360 605 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ode to Motherland in China is what Arirang is for Korea. It's their "second" national anthem of sorts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is more water in The Sahara. They already have a sweet pin set of the area/map. Oh you know they will be sweet swag. The question will be what is real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
