Anthony Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 I think I saw somewhere on instagram that Malika Ayane landed in Beijing. I wonder if "Un po' più in là" won the contest for hymn of the Milano games. Quote

That vertical screen didn't really add much to the Opening Ceremony. It looked kind of cool when the thing opened up and the athletes started walking in. I liked also the moon on the top of it in that outer space badkground with the snowflake on top of the planet. Apart from those moments, it kind of was under-utilised, I agree. Quote
AustralianFan Posted February 20, 2022 Author Report Posted February 20, 2022 expectations are certainly lowered …. Quote
AustralianFan Posted February 20, 2022 Author Report Posted February 20, 2022 What a pity there was no ice rink in the Birds Nest for the Ceremonies … Quote
SkiFreak Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Pondering right now whether to stay up for the ceremony or take a 4 hour nap before it. CBC is still showing the 30k. There's also the gala to watch. I have to dig thu the CBC app as there were events I still wanted to see like women's and men's two-man bobsleigh, aerials, and the ladies figure skating soap opera from a couple days ago. Quote

krow Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 i never watch the gala what's the point, there's no medal on the line. Quote
SkiFreak Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 How many times will we hear... Quote
Sir Rols Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 If they’re gonna continue using it, at least go the whole hog and have it replace that horrible dirge they’ve got for an Olympic anthem now. Quote
PikyoK Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 I'm excited to see the closing ceremony. hopefully it'll be more artistic than the opening. I'm looking forward to watching the 2008 connection and also the Milan Cortina 2026 presentation. They should've got Maneskin to perform but I'm fine with Malika Ayane and Italian violinist Giovanni Andrea Zanon. Should be fun! 1 Quote
AustralianFan Posted February 20, 2022 Author Report Posted February 20, 2022 With removal of the vertical LED screen from the Opening Ceremony, the base of which opened to be the athletes entrance, will we see athletes stream onto the arena tonight from several entrances? Hopefully there will also be more than “a sprinkling of athletes” who attend the Closing Ceremony. Quote
TorchbearerSydney Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 I imagine there are few athletes left- in Tokyo they had to leave ASAP to reduce covid risks.... OK, everyone has to take tequila shot everytime you hear Fencing 1976 or the word ''snowflake''.... 1 Quote
