yoshi 352 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Um, it's 11:01 - they've just crossed to Crammy in the stadium & there's a very excited warmup announcer going mad & loads of people on the infield - are the athletes already in, Paralympics style? And when does it actually start? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yoshi 352 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Rikki-Lee, hopefully minus bare bum. This is more like what we expect of an Australian closing ceremony! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Olympic Fan Darcy 321 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 In the crowd for the closing ceremony. Have to be honest and say it’s all over the place at the moment, also not at all near sold out. A lot of empty seats, the lights are off for the aisles that are empty so the TV cameras don’t see.
