Georgian born Khatuna Lorig will carry the US flag.
U.S. team picks Georgian to lead them in closing ceremony
Hillary arrived?
No, it’s a countdown to the countdown to another commercial.
Wow! Apparently, God hates hippies, too.
I accidentally hit “end” on my keyboard and went to the last post- Maggief’s Wicked Witch of the West and the flying house! LMAO!!
Uh, Bob ... I don't think they volunteered.
I thought the ceremony was beginning, now NBC is showing Olympic highlights.
LOL!!
Exactly.
Showing the amazing men’s relay win over France. That was one of the greatest moments in Olympic history, IMO.
dfwgator was right- it was the countdown to the countdown to another commercial.
Okay, now we are starting.
Drummers with bike helmets on??
It was the only way they could get to the bird’s nest because of the car ban.
I am an avid Olympic fan...
1- I trained for the games for a decade (decathlon)....
2- I’ve been to the Olympics four times (’84LA/’88Cal/’96Atl/’02SLC)....
3- my TV is always tuned in when the Olympics are on...
I must say these have been some of the most enjoyable games to watch in a long, long time...the Chicom’s did a good job and NBC’s coverage was fantastic...
Re:Your 104, I concur.
LOL!!
Those dresses with the bells have to weigh a ton!
Whats with the two big wheels of cheese dropping down?
LMAO!! I don't want anybody to get hurt, of course 
, but some footage of flying hippies would be awesome! :)
How exciting! As a competitor or observer?
I've really enjoyed them this time around, too.
The opening and closing performers volunteered. China’s athletes...not so much.
This all seems more Dutch than Chinese for some reason.
Yep.
I watch less of the Winter Games than Summer Games but this is the first coverage in a long time that didn’t focus on those sob stories. And, with more TV stations and internet, I was able to watch some of the events not televised during prime time.
LMAO!!
This is what I love, when it gets really strange during the ceremonies and I have no clue what is going on. It’s like a Chinese Wizard of Oz with music from a United Airlines commercial.
