Ikarus360 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Posted July 23, 2021 Depressing ceremony so far. Seems like i'm watching the anniversary of 9/11. Quote
Olympian2005 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 most boring/sad opening ever? Even the announcers are boring Quote
zigzag Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Man.. This is a tough remembrance of the state we are rn aeugh Quote

yoshi Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Quite a strange end to the opening sequence... Quote
JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I wonder if the actual cultural segment will start at 20-20 or 20-21 Tokyo time? Quote
Olympian2005 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Even with what is going on currently, this could still have been a spectacular and uplifting ceremony, but it is failing Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Posted July 23, 2021 Chinese government must be dancing right now. Quote
Sir Rols Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Yeah, very austere so far. I remember Nagano also was a bit austere. Hope it’s gonna perk up eventually. floor projections were quite pretty though. Quote
alterNATE Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I'm literally crying right now. I miss the old, colorful and festival vibes of the opening ceremony. 1 Quote
Nacholympic Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 What seemed one of the most promising and anticipated games, Covid has turned into this... this... Quote
zigzag Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I guess this somber ceremony is a damage control, too hype and all those NOlympics peeps gonna be fired up Quote
kevzz Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Suddenly it crossed my mind that Athens 2004 is actually the perfect pandemic ceremony. It’s so minimal and powerful at the same time. Quote

JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Very conventional rendering of Kimigayo Quote
rio2016man Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 This feels like a memorial service 1 Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Posted July 23, 2021 Anyone with self conscience and dignity should do well to not watch whatever Beijing does next february. Never forget who caused this disaster. Quote

alterNATE Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I think this is just the first part of the ceremony. Later we will witness their culture. Good vibes are coming at us later. Quote
