It’s what happens when you import all your citizens (hint, hint). Look at the UK and France and see the future.

It was cool to see Nadal, Carl Lewis, and Serena have the flame for a bit. I don’t get the big deal.


It makes it less interesting. There’s nothing unique or to take pride in by hosting if you just showcase a bunch of foreigners.

Celine Dion is understandable because maybe no one else could have hit that song like her. Showcasing non-French athletes was bizarre.

They've also skipped the really good montage of pictures and video clips from past Olympics. IIRC it was as the horse was coming down the river.


I think that seizure inducing randomness was for the live version to fill dead time during the live, of which there was a lot.

and of course it's two blacks with zero gold medals between them.


I got downvoted during the live version for saying the Olympics could be hosted by Norway or Iceland and they’d still find a black woman to light the flame.

Facts are overrated when you want to get your point across about black people I guess

The girl still has the Olympic Record in the 400 and the guy has the most gold world championships in Judo all time.
