[coylez]

When can we expect an announcement that a COVID positive person was at the ceremony?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We are 38th out.

Crowd or no crowd, what an honour this would be. Walking out representing your country.

First time is great. Second time even better.

 

[Acinath]

Dual flag bearers is awkward

Argentinian bloke waving it and lady just desperately holding on

 

[Seeds]

I’m genuinely shocked it’s athletes time already. How?? Did they plan for more but ditched it due to covid? That was pathetic? London was a magnificent display.

It seems like they dropped an hour and half of it.

clearly japan are over it.

[Clubs are trumps]

Ahh Aruba... now i can go to sleep with a Beach Boys song stuck in my head.

 

[gordo2016]

Is there any chance fans will be back for the closing ceremony? This is bloody depressing.

They have already said there will no fans throughout the whole games.

 

[Drummond]

And a break are you kidding me!

 

[GreyCrow]

Lucky the AFL aren't running this

Plenty of mask fines

 

[Drummond]

Can't even put their phones away to walk out in the opening ceremony of the olympics LMAO I've seen enough I think

Happens every Olympics. Why is this a bad thing? I’m fine with it. Memories for life captured.

A quick ad inbetween countries LMAO. This is actually disgusting coverage and the event itself is a trainwreck. Luckily next to noone is watching. 4:50am LA time.

 

[Suspense]

Commentators: And here is the competitor from Albania - one of a favourites for the high jump.

My Brain: They are playing the Final Fantasy victory music.

[giffler]

I thought I was losing my mind, the sh*t is that doing at the olympics?

Run out of noteworthy musicians after what 45mins?

It’s iconic though and well known outside of Japan, hopefully they can get some Mario in

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The humble suit is getting good run tonight.

 

[Donakebab]

Stop talking about cricket you chuds.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Hope it goes smoothly for Japan, would be a nightmare trying to host the Olympics at the moment
