    I watched the opening ceremony, it just blew me away.
    For everything they did was amazing.
    And the $40bn budget, that is extremely impressive.

    The opening was INSANE. I watched it twice, and I didn't catch the footprints bit the first time but I did the second time. It was crazy.

    Are you talking about the image they drew and then the participants walked over it and made the rainbow of colors? Otherwise I might have missed that too.

    I didn't watch much of the Olympics except for Singapore (gooo!) against China in TT Finals. Sad we lost.
