TorchbearerSydney Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 SPOILER ALERT: Vanessa Amorosi for the handover segment (as in 2002)!!! Being the new budget model of the Games, I presumed it would be Dannii Minogue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMarkSnow2012 Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Good grief- Apache Indian followed by Musical Youth. West Midlands music doesn't always work well internationally, but for a British audience this is nostalgia on a London 2012 Closing Ceremony scale.
