At first it reminded me a bit of when the Football League Show first moved to Channel 5, and they just jumbled about the highlights from the different leagues with no rhyme or reason.
One thing that winds me up a lot more than it should during trophy ceremonies, opening ceremonies etc….
Sportsmen and women who spend the entire experience filming the entire thing on their phone. Just take in the potentially once in a lifetime moment - there are god knows how many cameras filming the entire thing for you.
Watched the first 15 minutes of the opening ceremony and had to go away😰 It was like a funeral in a horror film. Many people are saying similar things on Chinese social media.

Just feels a bit hollow without the locals... they have been building for this for years & years and don't get to properly enjoy it in their own country. I think they should be allowed that opportunity to do it again, properly.
Imagine if all of London was done behind closed doors in 2013 - not nearly the same experience for everyone involved.

It’s just a money making/PR exercise for governments, same as hosting football.
A personal beef, but couldn't the Japanese have found a proper Japanese Olympian to light the flame? Osaka has never competed in the Olympics, and tennis is hardly an iconic Olympic sport, but rather one shoehorned in. It would be like us having Andy Murray lighting the flame in 2012 or (if Golf had been admitted 20 years earlier) Nick Faldo!
Poor in the rowing eights. Commentators thought the British men had it sewn up before the race. No. Last! Women even worse, finishing several seconds behind the other three. Two Brits fallen off in the cycling! Not the best start for Team GB.

The order is very confusing.

Not a patch on the London opening but I’m biased
Plus she's lived in the US since she was 3.
