What did you think of the opening ceremony?

I'm watching beginning of it on TV, there was just a whole heap of fireworks in the stadium and across Beijing. I thought it was awesome, especially with the drummers lighting up, and that paper scroll thing where they danced and drew that picture, and the Olympic rings floating in the air, and the all the effects with all those people walking/dancing around etc etc.

As well as the opening ceremony, you can also post other stuff about the Olympics, how your home country is going in sport etc. if you wish.

EDIT: Geez, it seems Australia will NEVER come out. Sure, all the other countries look good in their colourful clothes, but it's late, and... (*puts head on table and goes to sleep*)

I agree rd12...It was awsome
These are the first Olyimpics I'm going to see whole...

sad

The opening ceremony was very colorful. Especially the 30,000 fireworks shot off. That was great.
I was really amazed by the drum show and the people in the boxes making waves and all sorts of other things. I can't imagine how much work that took to get together.

I thought it was really creative how the final torch bearer was suspended in the air and ran sideways across the whole stadium before lighting the big torch.

I loved it! It was amazing! Especially when they lit the cauldron! I'm definitely rooting for Ireland, and the US this year. XD

xDDD I live in the USA I vote USA. smile That sounds pretty awesome. I could not find a channel though but Im not really interested in all that stuff.

w00t I've been waiting for ages! I am quite alot into sport and p.e is my favoruite subject at school. I watched the wicked drums for the countdown. And the way that man ran with the torch, that was the best! Let the games begin! Go Micheal Phelps!

I thought the opening ceremony was amazing. It's crazy what so many people can do if they just put effort into it. I thought it was a great show.

I thought the opening ceremony was really good. I only watched the beginning though.

I'm gonna record all of them.

Australia had horrible uniforms on. They wernt Australian at all. They were an ugly blue colour instead of the Aussie green and gold mad

Martial Arts Spyro · Aug 17, 2008 1:25 PM

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! Our Swimmer Phelps has more gold medals than Russia!!! He got eight golds in on Olympics!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!

Paranoia · Aug 17, 2008 2:32 PM

Yes, I heard. xD He had a lot of publicity after that rely. It is really amazing though.

Phoenix_Flyer · Aug 17, 2008 3:11 PM

I look up to Michael Phelps, after all I am a swimmer as well, but I think there is a bit too much publicity around him. What about all of the other awesome swimmers there? Not just in the US Team but in all of them? I'm sure they have interesting stories behind them as well but all the commentators do is say; "Oh, Phelps' so-and-so final is this afternoon" and they talk about the race he did to get it. That's the one sad thing about the Olympics, you could work your heart out to get there and even get into a final alongside Phelps, but does the World remember you? Unless you get a gold medal, not likely.....

Paranoia · Aug 17, 2008 3:33 PM

Well, at least he wasn't selfish about it. He said a couple times i some interviews that he couldn't have done it without his teammates. I mean sure, he's a great swimmer, but the other people need some glory too.

dragon protector x · Aug 17, 2008 4:08 PM

Yea Phelps set the world record for most gold metals...He has made history yesterday.

Spyro_Loves_Me · Aug 17, 2008 4:29 PM

Michael Phelps is a beast.
