baron-pierreIV Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I WAS RIGHT!! I first posted it here as going to be N. Osaka!! RIGHT AGAIN! Plus, I think that;s only about 1,200 athletes who actually amrched it. Of course, they don't want their best Oly bets to get sick before the competition!!

Shiruba98 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 That cauldron is beautiful! I didn't expect the sun to open up and become a flower! Also first hydrogen flame too. Is the outdoor cauldron in Tokyo Bay lit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphamale86 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I know half of y'all pissed. Now I know Naomi isn't the most flashy person. and the way they did it was made lackluster. This is going to be an unpopular opinion but the saving grace of all of this is that Beijing will be doing the next opening ceremony in about 7 months and we will definitely be in for a show then. Say what must be said politically but they're the best ones to follow this mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
