Olympic Opening Ceremony

If you liked the globe bit, you'd have liked the lighting. The last runner was on wires, and they launched him up into the sky, over to one of the top walls running around the stadium (near the scrim), then all of a sudden, he pops one side of his wires, dropping him into an angle, and he proceeds to "run" around the top edge of the stadium sideways until he gets to the cauldron, which was mounted into place at some point during the show, and he touched the torch to like a pipe thing which ran to the cauldron, I presume they used gunpowder for this, but the flame zipped across the pipe, twisted around the twisty part of the cauldron, then lit the flame.
