Loved the opening show, watching all the faces from all over the world!! Very exciting! The Queen made a great entrance. She must have a good sense of humor! My fav sports are the gymnastics and the synchronized swimming!
I only watched part of the opening. I'm getting a bit disgusted with all the fanfare and expense. I can see making sure the venues are secure and that the athletes are safe and have good places to stay, but all that opening stuff, with every country trying to outdo every other country? Why? I keep thinking of other things that money could go towards. No to mention all the electricity it takes... Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.
I wanted to watch it, but lost track of time and only caught the tail end. I generally watch the opening ceremonies, and keep loose tabs on things as the games play out. While I like the idea of the world coming together to watch these amazing athletes, I'd feel a lot better about the games if play was fair across the board.
No interest. Except soccer and basketball. Too many family things going on this summer.
