Olympian2004 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 At least now this feels like a normal opening ceremony. Great music, stunning light effects on the bridges and on the water, and a reference to Olympic history. I hope they can at least pull this part of the ceremony off. Quote

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The angle of those wings made no sense, what on earth is this camera work? I'm sorry for being so critical but my god. Quote

Sir Rols Posted July 26 Author Report Posted July 26 Are they going to show the great fencing triumph in Montreal in these clips from tree past? Quote

sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 God, I'm going to have a lot to say in my hot debrief of the OC. (Should we open a separate topic to put our opinions at the end? Maybe that's better) Quote

olympian.br Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 This is one long ride lol The tv commentators trying to make some sense out of this is the best part so far. Quote

sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The horse is too long. At this rate he will arrive at my place, in Rouen. I will come down from my house to welcome him, I live 200m from the Seine. Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 This horse was really impressive three hours ago. Quote

Rob2012 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 What a backdrop! Honestly they could've done the whole ceremony just in front of the Eiffel Tower and I would've been fine with that. 2 Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Okay, this is suffering of the same problem the Drag parade had ...its taking too long. Quote

Usually, we had a Verdict thread after the Games, I believe - and we put our verdicts about the OC into the live chat. But hey, Paris is doing a few things differently, so we can do a few things differently as well. Quote
