Discuss the opening ceremony here.

I've renamed this forum to cover the Winter Olympics. There is Figure Skating on at the moment.

The whole thing is already a disaster. It doesn't even feel like a real Olympics.

I'm usually a huge Olympics fan but this year just feels like some cheap imitation of the Olympics. It all feels like a Will Ferrell movie.

Enjoyed what I saw of it yesterday.
A North East lad started it off in the ice rink.
I love the Winter Olympics and will be glued.

The actual venues/stadiums look awesome more spent here than all the rest of the Winter Olympics put together.
I do worry they spend so much for the world stage, hopefully the people of Russia are as well looked after

This will probably be one of our best showings if all the hype pays off, and yet it's in such a ****hole. So depressing.

Do we have about 80 Olympics channels this time like we did for the London games.

The little girl looked nervous. Probably knows her parents will be shot in front of her if she messes up. Grotesque c-un-t-ry

LOL at one of the rings not opening, i'm glad that happened tbh. It shows the world is not united fully, russia didn't deserve these games imo.

This is rather beautiful imo, very similar to our own summer opening. Obviously I don't feel as moved since I'm not from Russia, but they are putting on a good show.

It's a shame that in reality there is a very, very ugly country behind this ceremony.
