Awesome opening or what? I am so excited, since the Venezuelan team has great oportunities this year (with Diliana Mendez and Andreina Pinto)

But they ALWAYS suck, so what's new? The French one was horrid.There's nothing spoileriffic in this thread, other than the ceremonies sucked, which you'll all find out soon enough.
I'm watching the teams parade in now. It's extra confusing for me because the Chinese is translated into Spanish. *sigh*
. At first I thought they were introducing countries in order from least to most favorite Hah.
Heheh. Yeah, and the teams are introduced in what might be considered Chinese "stroke-count" order, which means from the lowest number of strokes in the beginning character of the country's (Chinese) name, to the highest.
If that makes sense.
In any case -- confusing for the rest of the world. At first I thought they were introducing countries in order from least to most favorite Hah.
Too bad those bastids didn't put me on the Olympic committee. I coulda' spiced that shit up a tad.
There's a really dirty joke in there dying to get out, but I'm not touching it."stroke-count"

Why does Melanie get to watch it. We don't get to see it until this evening.
I'm thinking it won't be much different than holding the Olympics at a high elevation where the air is thinner.I will be interested to see how well the tests go with the air pollution as bad as they say it is. How in the world can outside folks breathe? I think the runners and swimmers will have a tuff time.
Not so odd. America wants it to be shown in prime time so they can charge advertisers primo dollars.I saw it 3 hours ago, quite odd...
