Able to share it?

Check PM's

 

[mclem]

Yes it was. Brazil though is spending a lot less than us Brits did so it's likely to be no where near as long.

I was wondering if my recollection was out because of all the in-stadium preamble that wasn't broadcast at London.

 

[jrmanimal]

As a brazilian, I really liked the opening. And not too long...pretty good.

 

[Acorn]

Dat L from the andorra sign bicycle person lol

 

[Smellycat]

What the hell is NBC doing? Anyone know where else I can watch the ceremony

 

[HvySky]

Check PM's

Yo can you hit me up with that

 

[pulsemyne]

This is amazing, the tone of the ceremony really comes out of nowhere, glad they are using this event to bring more awareness to an issue that concerns every single one of us.

It's a great sentiment but Brazils record on preventing climate change is...spotty at best. By spotty I mean acne riddled teen.

For anyone that wants to stick it to NBC

He does rotate around between the feed and Rainbow Six presumably to avoid the IOC ninjas

CBC online stream perhaps?

 

[The Last One]

They just said on TV that the show in this ceremony will go on after the Nations Parade.

 

[Randomizer123454444]

Is that a selfie-stick? Hah!

Really colroful, love it this far.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Jesus the marathon in a burka..in Rio.

 

[Memento]

Honestly? This was one of the best open ceremonies I have ever seen.

Great, great show.

Edit: oh there is more after the parade?

 

[thebeeks]

I love the parade of nations so fucking much. All the athletes are just so jazzed and happy to be there.

 

[Spiritreaver]

At least we (in the US) don't have to wait ages for United States this time. Love the parade though.

Former Raptor Luis Scola!

taima.tv even has a built in chat

 

[Jamie OD]

What's with the giant cheese grater?

Edit: Oh it's for the athletes to plant seeds.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Luis Scola!

 

[PjotrStroganov]

12 S Arabs? What are they doing in that country?

 

[valkillmore]

What's with the giant cheese grater?

There are many. I noticed them too lol

 

[Brazil]

Boo Argentina boooooo booooo

Just kidding

 

[Chezzymann]

Wait NBC compeltley skipped the opening ceremony? What the fuck?

 

[Ganzlinger]

It's weird seeing the occasional article about how shit tier Brazil is on violence, police, poverty, jails, and other human rights - and then seeing NBC and Rio trying to make it like happy paradise destination

It's both. Brazil is a third world country with corruption, poverty and violence but we are not only that.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Scola!!!!

 

[halfbeast]

holy shit, how tall is that argentinian guy?

 

[Hoo-doo]

What's with the giant cheese grater?

They drop the seeds in there or something.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Them Argentinian ladies in skirts tho

 

[Hazzuh]

who let the guys with the cheesegrater in.

 

[Volimar]

Wait NBC compeltley skipped the opening ceremony? What the fuck?

Tape delay. It'll be there.

 

[Milchmann]

We are still at A?

 

[Brinbe]

NBC is tape delayed till 8 PM local for everyone in 'Murica. So it's starting for East Coast Yanks right now.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I knew NBC was going to be behind, but their coverage started a half an hour ago and they're still twiddling their thumbs. I'm just going to stick with their coverage since I've already missed so much if I jump on another stream

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Aruba, my favs so far

 

[Arcana Wiz]

Lol at the little booing for Argentina

 

[Cheat Code]

INDEPENDENT ATHLETES.

FUCKING LOVE THOSE GUYS.

 

[Nesotenso]

NBC is tape delayed till 8 PM local for everyone in 'Murica.

they have to make up for the ridiculous amount of money they paid for the rights.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

holy shit, how tall is that argentinian guy?

That was NBA player Luis Scola

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Independents fuck yeah!

 

[Bold One]

Will Nigel Farage be carrying the team GB flag?

 

[Diprosalic]

i like that the rainbow ponchos (#PrayForRainbowPoncho) have arrows on them, so you know which way to walk.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I saw happy Borat just now.

 

[Omega Kirby]

iindependant best country

 

[Piggus]

Just got home and apparently the opening ceremony is tape-delayed 4 hours on the west cost. Fucking NBC.

 

[Kensuke]

Still just on A.

 

[DOWN]

Makes you wonder that maybe it's somewhere in-between those two, huh?

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot we skip over the icky massive problems and beliefs when we give the Olympics to a country.

 

[Milchmann]

Australians look like flight attendants.

 

[thebeeks]

INDEPENDENTS YEAH!

 

[Memento]

Australians look like flight attendents.

Lol
