yoshi 353 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 OK a dedicated thread for the Para opening. Not specifically live chat as many people are unable to watch live, but a place to discuss the OC & keep the general thread general Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zigzag 40 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Wait what more people are unable to watch it live than the Olympics OC? I find the Paras are easier to watch online that then Olympics.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yoshi 353 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Stupid Channel 4, making it impossible to watch live on their internet TV app...grr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMarkSnow2012 387 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 As in the Olympic ceremonies, the circular arena works very well with the floor projection Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 605 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I won't lie, that drum segment got kinda tedious after a while, though the projections were cool. Now the arrival of the national flag. Also I noticed they slighty modified the main stage and raised it near the borders of the two adjacent tribunes to the cauldron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd describe the opening sequences as "upbeat-traditional"- I wonder if they're trying to woo the home audience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
