I wonder if Bolt or Blake will break any records this year.

I hope so!

Not anymore the dropped both baseball and softball after the Bejing games I think it was. Not sure why but they did.

Another country could be using MOR as their abbreviation also I have notice that some countries use their native language form of abbreviation and still some countries use their full name abbreviated like Korea for example.

Thanks for the info!

It stinks that they dropped Baseball. That would have been fun.

It there's one thing they've got a lock on it's the limbo event. Until they face Barbados, anyway.

Hooray for the 3DS in the opening ceremony.

What a brilliant opening ceremony.mEnglish music makes for an awesome medley.

I liked the bit where Mary Poppins defeated voldemort.

Would have liked to try to watch it in 3D.
Not sure if it's just not working on my TV or if Nine just haven't figured it all out properly yet or what.
Oh well, not important.

Yeah, that was quite amusing.
A mob of Mary Poppins floating down from the sky to defeat giant Voldermort.

Anyone else spot the kid playing the 3DS? (It may have even been a XL).

NO ELTON JOHN!!

NO SPICE GIRLS!!

INJUSTICE!!

Spice Girls will be doing the closing ceremonies which will kick off their comeback tour.

It was a normal 3DS (I saw the little green "3D" light, which has been removed on the XL).

Anyhow, the highlight of the ceremony was Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean). This is a fact that can't be argued

I can only imagine how many street passes that kid will get.

So... This opening ceremony is really terrible. I have no idea what's going on. Some dude gives a phone to someone right before a house lifts above the creator of the WWW, and then they show David Beckham driving a boat. Great. Olympics.

I know that, but in the whole music section of the show here was nothing from them.

Probably cause they dont want to be too repetitive.

I didn't get to watch the opening ceremonies, but I heard, true to form [being directed by Danny Boyle, I mean], it was a right old Socialist knees up.

I hope I get to watch it though, because I heard the Queen parachuted in with Daniel Craig and Mr. Bean conducted the London Symphony Orchestra.

The Chariots of Fire was great, in true Mr. Bean fashion.

Also, it's a great show until after Great Britain comes in. Then it goes downhill from there, fast.
_{seriously, i have no clue who lit the cauldron. why not get someone at least a few people recognise}

The Queen parachuting into the stadium with James Bond made the opening ceremony for me.
