I dunno, I'd sleep better with that in the background
Also, it's the opening ceremony of the olympics. If you needed to sleep early and this was disturbing your sleep and you didn't buy ear plugs you're a moron

And she was using the fecking Eiffel Tower as a stage!
Should be inside the arena as well.
Maybe he isn’t performing anymore after he ended racism. Decent way to go out to be fair.
Well, this was most boring opening ever.
That balloon is one Bart Simpson away from going down.
Is the opening ceremony always that long
What have I missed now?
What a ride.
It had everything I like. Zidane.
What's the story here?
The best bit was when they celebrated beheading all those people
Shout out to his family
Gibo Tamberi lost his wedding band in the Seine 
Is that real? No way he can be that stupid.
The horsey bloke dragged as did the lighting of the bizarre hot-air balloon. Suppose it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle & the less said about the end the better! But apart from that, excellent.
Seriously though it started off well and then dragged. And less said about Imagine and even less about Celine Dion the better.

A ceremony to remember. People will be talking about it. Well done.
Celine Dion pulled off an incredible performance. What a star!

Michael Johnson and Rebecca Adlington politely said they didn't like it.
'It was different'.
'It was different'.
How did you have this ready so quickly
The frog song bit is edited in, of course. But he really did make a track to honor George Floyd and said “shout out to his family”.
I enjoyed the 90s rave.
Robot Unicorn Attack would have been so much cooler with sparks and a less visible boat.

Thought it was like 7/10. Balloon pushed it to 8...... Celine possibly to 9 
Surprised how a couple of segments seemed to go for eternity. Felt Directing and cinematography were shocking sometimes!
Best bits for me: le ballon, the heavy metal segment, Notre dame, lady gaga, the flotilla idea
Worst bits: fashion segment, and the recorded clips that kept interrupting performances!!

Using the whole city instead of just a stadium is such a good idea, it’s shocking it hasn’t been done before.
Sooooo. Fencing, a diving final, swimming, and the ITT tomorrow. Finally my days have a purpose again
Tarling will crush Ganna.
Makes sense why they didn't have him performing then.
Gojira and a decapitated Marie Antoinette that triggered American family rights activists. Best opening ceremony ever
Just caught Celine at the end
I hope Remco will, but Tarling and Ganna have focused their entire year on this one race. It will be difficult.
I have PTSD from the Italians stealing the 4000m last time. Not fair.
Agreed. I just don’t think that it can work in every city.
You'd get shot in America
