Sir Rols Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Three and ninety households, all alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene* Benvenuti a tutti! *Apologies to Billy Shakespeare 2 Quote
PikyoK Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 Let me fill in the missing intro written just for the Winter Games: From alpine heights to Lombard city, Where striving hearts in noble sport convene. From forth the gathered nations of the world, A host of winter athletes brave and bright, Whose daring feats on snow and ice unfurled Have crowned these days with glory and with light. The hopeful passage of their tested skill, And all the bonds their friendly contests wove — Which frost nor distance ever could make still — Is now the pageant of our stage and love. The which, if you with patient hearts attend, What here falls short, our gratitude shall mend. Quote

sebastien1214 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Spoiler for the handover in a few hours : Spoiler Rumor has it that a human cannon has been spotted backstage: the rumor is that it will be Edgar Grospiron himself who will be the human cannonball to spectacularly mark his departure from OCOG 2030! Compared to that, Tom Cruise jumping off the Stade de France is child's play! 1 Quote
