Re: Olympics opening ceremony

@gidgetgh   Wow !   Brought tears to my eyes !   I dont even like opera with they exception of Bocelli's singing it.  I've always said his singing voice is what God sounds like whe he sings.   I heard from one of the commentators after he was finished Celine Dion said the very same thing.

Very nicely done!

I enjoyed the commercial with sports rivals united in cheering on the US olympians. Of course Snoop and Martha are the cherry on top!

I thought Team USA looked great, best dressed of all. I really enjoyed Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli's  performances.

Re: Olympics opening ceremony

IOC President Kirsty Coventry at opening ceremony.

 

"When we see an athlete stumble and find the strength to rise, we are reminded that we can do the same.

 

When we see rivals embrace at the end of a finish line, we are reminded that we can choose respect.

 

When we see grace, courage and friendship – we remember the kind of people we all want to be.

 

The spirit of the Olympic Games is about so much more than sport. It is about us – and what makes us human.

 

In Africa, where I’m from, we have a word: ubuntu. It means: I am because we are. That we can only rise by lifting others. That our strength comes from caring for each other."

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the ceremonies . I don't know what has changed about me but I have no interest in watching the games this time around. I used to be a big fan, especially of the skating, but this year no. It's fine , but I just don't understand what has changed. 🤷‍♀️


@QVCkitty1 I feel the EXACT same way.  I haven't watched the games for a while now however I am aware of why,
