These ceremonies (like half time at the Super Bowl and the Orange Bowl) are all alike: the organizers just can't resist putting EVERYTHING in. It always becomes a hodge podge of performers that don't make sense/ go together. I must say that London make take the prize for most over-the-top opening and closing ceremonies, though. Hours and hours of acts!

I may be one of the last posters on this thread, except for Hawaii of course, just now watching the Rio segment, will be quite interesting to see what kind of opening ceremony they come up with, most likely a “Super Carnivale” is my guess.

But I am grateful to the powers that be that Obama was told to take a hike with his Chicago offering, can anyone image what they would have done?

What a Great Fire rendition and the stockyards for a stage?

Gotta give Britain praise for security at the least, they had somewhat good weather, and the stadiums and events seemed to be of high quality workmanship. At least they had none of the Chinese “smog” or polluted fog.
