This has lasted longer than Paris’ resistance to the Nazis

Silver horse looks spectacular.

It won't just be mens sevens teams going home before the starting ceremony is complete at this rate.

For 30 seconds yes!

For 30 minutes not so much!

Odd ceremony. Made for TV.

Cotter almost made this bearable

Olympics, Rugby, Tennis, Hockey. Is he the world's most versatile commentator?

I was just thinking he'd be an excellent addition to F1

@Victor-Meldrew He does Golf and Rowing too.

Viewers shocked after ‘blue scrotum’ performs at 'acid trip' Olympic opening ceremony

The weirdest moment during the Olympics opening ceremony left viewers shocked.

It looks like Golf is Cotter's main sport. Best Rugby commentator of his/my generation by a country mile.

Yeah easily, humour gets me every time

@Bones Ticks all the boxes for me.

Knows the laws inside out.
Gets all the players' names right.
Clearly loves the game, especially attacking rugby.
Calls what he sees.
Funny.
Knows when to shut up.

[sparky]

Fuck, it's still going on.

I have never watched an opening ceremony in my life, the so called 'highlights' I catch on the news etc proves they are a pile of absolute shit. Very much GOM about this, but have been since teen years, what an utter waste of time and money

[Dan54]

@Machpants Me and you both mate!
All they need is someone to stand there and say the games have begun!. I turned on tv this morning and saw it was on and just watched a bit of golf.
I actually say the same with Rugby WC etc, just say the games have started!

[KiwiMurph]

A good opening ceremony is enjoyable

This tried way too hard.

At least with the LA Olympics SoFi Stadium has a roof

I hope future Olympic Opening Ceremonies focus much more on, you know, sport.
