Nacholympic Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 A reminiscence of Paris 2024 handover with those jets. Quote
TorchbearerSydney Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 I like the handover , by far the best bit of the Ceremony so far Quote
Tatsh Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 The last video of handover was the best part. 1 Quote

Who were those guys? Politicians in the handover is another thing I want to go forever. And already Paris was underwhelming, but it had at least that very nice video with the Marseillaise and the fly-by over the city of Paris had a slight wow factor. Only a slight one, though. Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Was hoping after the brilliant Paris 2024 presentation that the handover presentation being done from the host city would continue even post covid but seems we're already back in the stadium. The ceremonies this time around have been really poor though - knew they'd be scaled back for obvious reasons but that didn't have to be a bad thing. Hopefully what is becoming a new tradition of the Paralympics delivering something better continues this year to as these have not been a spectacle at all and lacked any soul. 1 Quote
Ikarus360 Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 That handover left me cold. Paris handover was much more emotional. I didn't thought much of the video segments either, which I also think France did a better job. Quote
Nacholympic Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 An extremely pandemic habdover... just 2 persons!!!!!! Much better Paris handover and to mention Torino habdover in 20 years ago! Well, at least I cannot say Santiago 2023 Pan Am has the worst habdover ever.. today we have met a mate!!!!! Quote
munichfan Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Someone's taken some heavy inspiration by Paris. Dynamic sports/city footage video? Check. Tornado jets? Check. Weird white men talking? Check. Patriotic cheering filmed back home? Check. Anyway, the mountain footage really makes me look forward to 2026. Might actually be attending for the first time. Quote

Olympian2004 Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Only two more Olympic ceremonies to go and we never will have to listen to Fencing 76's speeches anymore... Quote
Ikarus360 Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 I can't wait for the day this guy gets Cancelled or removed in some scandal. Robbed the soul of an event I used to like so much. Quote

I wouldn't count on that. German commentators mentioned he's currently actively working on finding a way to stay. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Ok we are just about done. Thanks Bach. How is Peng Shuai? Quote

What a disgrace for our country. Quote
Nacholympic Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Up to here only the protocol segments... That's all the closing ceremony about.. I wonder what was the rehearsal of Yimou last Friday??? Quote
