What an absolutely wonderful opening ceremony! I only have one meh moment - it involved Sarah Brightman (who looks rather creepy these days and need a trim). The torch lighting was exceptional. The use of the scrim fro projections during the festivities added so much to the show. I was amazed at the perfect circle the tai chi people could maintain and the block segment was fascinating and, the pyro was not to be beat. Overall, it was among the best. (Lillihammer was my favorite and Atlanta the absolute worst.)
I'm actually looking forward to watching some swimming and diving - and to hear the name Pieter van den Hoogenband said out loud. Gymnastics are another sport I tend to watch, but we'll see what I have time for.
