Ikarus360 Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 So far no floor projections which i'm perfecty fine with. They overstayed their welcome and killed creativity for a long time. I just wish they did more stuff at the central stage since so far the stand stage has been taking more of the spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by "central stage" you mean the main field of play, the current scene illustrates the problem- you need a large cast to fill a track & field arena (Rio were smart to use a football stadium, much smaller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Ceremony has been pretty weird so far but the production values are top notch. Much better than the last two Olympic ceremonies combined in all honesty, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
