Russian ladies are so fine. Russian men terrifyingly large. I could never get me one of these Russian girls when they're so used to such men.

 

[Fritz]

Seriously, this show has been incredibly tasteful and "humble". Was expecting MUCH worse.

 

[MBR]

It can't be anything other than a hockey player lighting the flame.

Fake edit while writing: Yep. Or well, a goalie, but close enough.

[criesofthepast]

Very beautiful. From what I saw the ceremonies were really well done.

 

[Brinbe]

Fucking awesome. Doesn't quite justify all the bullshit and billions wasted, but it's purty

 

[Oersted]

Meh. Lame.

 

[Psychotext]

Not the best flame bit. Meh.

 

[Yondy604]

[Oersted]

Medvedev like the ceremony

Loooool

 

[RedNalgene]

Didn't think the lighting was going to be good, but that was pretty cool. Still not better than Ali lighting it in 1996, imo.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I keep looking at the Olympic park and thinking 'so this is where the grand prix is going to be run...'

 

[Jamie OD]

Cool opening ceremony. Bring on the Games!

 

[MBR]

That's all then.
Overall this was pretty, but kinda' boring.
I remember London being much more fun at least, but that might've been because it was during summer.

Let the games begin!

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Coll is anyone from the USA watching?

Remember it's not live till 7pm. lol

[PjotrStroganov]

I bet the atmosphere is going to be great with such a compact Olympic games.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Good ceremony. Really hyped for this. Especially speed skating so NL can kick some ass.

 

[Fritz]

I bet the atmosphere is going to be great with such a compact Olympic games.

Think so too.

 

[PandaJones]

 

[killer_clank]

is this fireworks going on forever. more fireworks in short time > endless fireworks at olympic ceremonies imo

 

[SJRB]

That was an amazing opening ceremony. Visual masterpiece, no doubt.

 

[Oersted]

China still not topped.

Think so too.

We read it the same way xD.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Ok, enough with the fireworks now

 

[Hackbert]

love me some classical music. great music through the whole event.

 

[bjaelke]

So that's what 4 tons of fireworks look like.

 

[KingItachi]

Awesome ceremony, bring on da curling.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Well, that was an impressive ceremony. I enjoyed it.

 

[Parch]

That was alright. Traditional. Respectful.

 

[Majine]

All in all, not as epic as the Beijing one. I guess that's what happens when a large part of the inflated budget goes into peoples pockets instead.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Someone had a mate who wanted shot of a load of fireworks.

 

[dapperbandit]

9.2/10 ceremony

There was nothing quite as extraordinary as that industrialization thing in the London Olympics but most of the rest of London 2012's opening ceremony was trash. That was more consistently good.
