zigzag Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Got to be honest though.. Parsons speech is much weirder than Bach.. Bach is boring but Parsons? Man he's like a motivator or salesman speaking... It feels weird!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 The female announcer has a heavy korean accent this time. Male one seems to be the same from the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Time for Hymn a l'Avenir. Shame they didn't tried to be original with the anthem and went for something prerecorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Sad to hear Channel 4 has done so far a terrible feedback of the Paralympics opening. Also, a ring entering the stage now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Segment seems to be about the Network. Guess this is the answer to the "Gate to the Future" segment of the olympics opening., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
