@horse bro do you think this will be the last Olympic that China will be hosting? they had already achieved their objective. And from now on the OIC will be begging Beijing IF there are NO interesting country Bidding and I see it after Brisbane won the Bid uncontested with OIC changing the bidding process to escape embarrassment...lol
I don't know brother, you got the wrong guy here for that!
Usually I do not even follow it too closely. The opening ceremony I did not watch, not in 2008 and not in 2022. However, I always seek out the pictures.
Both opening ceremonies were awesome. The one in 2008 was in your face grandeur that only the Emperor can order to be done. And it was worth it. Even today, foreigners still remember what they saw back then.
This year, I liked this ceremony even more. Of course, that Imperial Palace type of grandeur was not redone, but 2022 may not have that imperial court feel to it of Chinese civilization artistically blasted in our face, which we had to enjoy or else, this year the artistic elegance made up for all that imperial force that was not displayed. Yet the ceremony was so nice, hit the right notes, displayed a subtly and beauty that was hard to describe. Then the CCP rubs people's faces into it with the Ugriur man lighting the fuse, and the single dove being returned. In yo' face! In the most graceful and elegant style possible!
Wow! That was amazing!
Then we had the American politician singing the blues and butt hurts in the background. They got rhythm.
Why not have China bid for another Winter Olympics? Seems like a lot of fun!
