Hard to believe the last Summer Games in the states was Atlanta. Feels like a lifetime ago. 

It's possible that Atlanta is the reason why the last Summer Games in the states was Atlanta

Los Angeles was a great city in 1984 which saved the Olympics, now it’s a craphole which can’t host an Olympics.

Ceremony will showcase homelessness, shootings and shoplifting 😉

I just find that strange reasoning. How could one NOT have a subjective favourite, true one that touched them most positively at the time.

If you are going to try to rate “best” (even though that’s still subjective) maybe you want to watch them over a bit. But favourite? That’s absolutely legitimate no maters how many times or when you saw them.

Tokyo Handover in 2016 is probably the best ever. It outshone the Tokyo cerimonies BY FAR.

Because Tokyo’s actual ceremonies was poorly done by Dentsu after they kicked out Mikiko, who directed Tokyo’s Handover in Rio in 2016. She was gonna direct the actual 2020 ceremonies of covid didn’t exist

So what did Tom cruise do anyway? All I remember is him being on top of the Stade de France, acting all attention whore like, & then automatically being on the stadium floor. Did he really "zip-line" down the stadium? But anyway, so far not impressed with the L.A. 2028 handover. It's really blah. The Paris handover was WAY better. 

Agreed. Sort of went downhill after the anthem.

Also, sort of embarrassing that the LA Super Bowl did this Snoop segment better lol

[olimpicgamer]

Truth is, US can keep half of the world entertainment with their singers alone. So many options for their ceremony. I'd do something Holywood themed!

Because of global warming we now have the SuperBowl in August. And people want to see the Olympics in Doha in 2036?!

[kevzz]

Ok it’s dragging a bit too long now with all these singing. Need to see something more other than pop act

ill be honest but i miss the old school type instadium like handovers. this is just for TV and like superbowl.. so american yet nothing wow...

İf 36 games will be in Indıa or Istanbul  that would be something to watch i guess. totally different cultures and put everything they have for this one shot event

[Ikarus360]

Of course, Snoop couldn't help himself and had to sing about how much he loves weed.

[Daze]

The sound is again crap

[JMarkSnow2012]

Aha! The teeny tiny flame!

[rio2016man]

 At this point snoop Dogg is America's uncle

[Scotguy II]

THE GAMES HAVE NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY CLOSED or did i miss that?

[Bear]

huh, i swore they said there would be an in-stadium component (unless they were only referring to the tom cruise bit)

I could say that about Toronto, look up my city which is a suburb of Toronto called Brampton, once was the stereotypical ideal of suburbia, now it’s a total craphole.

Toronto could have hosted 2028, but we decided not to play ball with the IOC as there was almost nothing in it for us.

Super Bowl Halftime is an inside stadium concert.

[Ikarus360]

I don't know what to think about that handover.

Paris did the prerecorded handover better in 2021. They should've done more stuff in the stadium than just Tom Cruise

[kevzz]

On another note, does anyone know what did they do with all the selfies the winning athletes took on the medal podium? They were all given a special selfie camera to take it. I thought they might have a compilation of all these selfies in the closing ceremony but seems unlikely now….
