Olympics

My favourite ever is honestly doubles figure skating.

 

Woo. I'm not the only one who confessed to liking figure skating. My room mates (all male) keep teasing me about it.

 

I like figure skating.. used to like it more when I was younger. My favorite was the guy who would do back flips on the ice.. he was great XD I'm more of a Summer Olympics fan, I've never really gotten into the winter olympics for some reason, it seems like it's pretty fun to watch though so I might try to catch some of it

 

whats everyone's opinion on the opening ceremony?

 

The opening ceremonies were OK - not the best I've seen...a little bit longish
and I found it was a bit of a showcase for Aboriginal culture rather than Canadian culture - however, I did enjoy it
It was quite unfortunate that the cauldron didn't come up like it was supposed to, but the torch bearers handled it well.

 

are you canadian?

 

I didn't see the opening this year.. but to those that did, do you think it topped Beijing's Summer Olympic Opening Ceremony? (if that's even possible )

 

yes i am - from the Maritimes

 

NO! I'm Canadian and I thought that was the worst opening EVERR.

 

That's a bit harsh...what parts did you dislike?

 

Wow really? That makes me want to try to find it online to see for myself *goes to google it*

Well everybody's entitled to their own opinion.. and their's is that it was really bad :lol: Did you watch it? What did you think of it?

 

yes I do agree that everyone has their own opinion...and that's cool just curious what aspects made it the worst ever lol Although I do agree they were not the best ever

 

definitely didn't top beijing but I actually thought they were pretty decent.
There was a clip of this snowboarder going down a big mountain to begin the whole thing, and it looked really neat, then the same guy does a jump through one of the olympic rings onto the stage xP
It was pretty sweet!
The overall opener had its moments, although the middle got kind of boring. They had a cool idea of that screen on the stage though .. they didn't use it enough though, it was kind of a wasted opportunity. D:

 

i saw it, i thought the fiddler was bat man, or some downtown east side cocaine dealers. lol, punk fiddlers.

i did like the he/she dude who was flying....the rope was tooo obvious. but they did a great job with the effects that were projected onto the stage.

 

Hmm, sounds like there are some cool moments of the show. I may have to make some time later to watch it!

 

I liked it
thought it was pretty good
wasn't feeling all the dances and stuff

 

I didn't watch the Opening Ceremony, but my friend did. She said they had technical difficulties. xD
Ugh, I work in the Olympic Superstore. Too many customers...

 

yeah, they did have some technical difficulties, one of the things that the torch was supposed to light didn't come up

 

yeah whatever, not everything can be perfect
but overall I think it was a pretty good show
