How do you insure security for an event THIS vast? The truth is, you can't. Determined and well organized terrorists, infiltrating themselves ahead of time, would make a play of it. Just trying to imagine the logistics of security on top of the obvious logistics of the opening ceremony makes me dizzy.
It feels funny to hear all announcements in French first. An homage to monsieur De Coubertin, I suppose?
I didn't like the military bringing up the Olympic flag. The Olympics are no place for the military and certainly not in the opening ceremony.
It struck me how Caucasians were interchangeable, country wise. Watch the athletes coming into the stadium and try to GUESS which country is which without looking at the flag or the colors. If you say you can do it, I think you're a liar. We tend to stereotype "the Australians", the "Brazilians", "the Spanish", "the Americans", but the truth is, we're all alike, we're all a melting pot. Only language, culture and politics really divide us.
Will Chinese athletes REALLY be dope free? aghhhh, hard to believe.
All right, let the games begin!
