And that's always been the true core of an Olympic Ceremony, thank god at least that was saved. Totally agree. Since now on, the parade should have a reduced number of athletes in every OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking we're seeing an early parade of nations, that's all. Means there's a bit of a 'crowd' this way too. Edited July 23, 2021 by Rob.

Since now on, the parade should have a reduced number of athletes in every OC I understand your sentiment but we need to understand that walking in the opening ceremony is the big moment for 90% of the athletes. if you limit the number of athletes permanently you take that away from them. From a viewership perspective yes it takes awhile but give it to them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Another positive note, finally they gave a rest to popular tunes/dance music in parade of nations for a change. Not against it, i liked the Kpop in PC and british pop tunes in London but I missed orchestra music in parade of nations which hasn't been done since Vancouver.

I am assuming they are waving to viewers at home due to the fact there are like 50 cameras all around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevzz Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Any cultural segments after this parade will just be a side show as I can't see how they can do a full proper one with the athletes occupying most of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catch is that this is game-soundtrack music performed orchestrally. Classical orchestral music would very probably involve unusual time-signatures which would mess with the rhythm of the parade.
