I got a crush on Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce when she won gold in 2008. She's cute.

 

[imBask]

Japanese people looking good as usual

 

[Mac the KNife]

Just tuning in from a bar. No sound. What the hell am I watching.

[nicoga3000]

GODAMN NBC...We get it! Giselle is in the crowd!

:lol

Every 7 seconds we get a shot of her.

 

[thefro]

Yes and its frustrating.

I suspect they'll skip all the jabroni countries in the Parade of Nations to "catch up" to 1 hr behind by the end.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Dance party music sounds nice. What is it?

 

[Officerrob]

Apparently NBC thinks Giselle dancing is the opening ceremony

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Brazil the country with the biggest Japanese community outside Japan

Is that a fact? Surprising if true. What's the reason for that?

 

[Hazzuh]

What was her name?

shelly ann fraser pryce

 

[bomma_man]

Brazil the country with the biggest Japanese community outside Japan

[imBask]

I love seeing these countries i've never heard of, makes me google them and learn something

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

[Cormano]

I suspect they'll skip all the jabroni countries in the Parade of Nations to "catch up" to 1 hr behind by the end.

Im used to watching the olympics live

 

[Quick]

CBC going for the jugular on this Russian athlete interview.

"Your team almost didn't make it to the Olympics." loooool damn.

 

[MMarston]

Is that a fact? Surprising if true. What's the reason for that?

It's true. Forgot the specific context but I think it's because of WW2. I am incredibly wrong

Someone correct me if wrong.

Ain't even the Winter Olympics yet haha

 

[Volimar]

Why do they keep showing the model in the stands.

Because Americans know her.

 

[Brazil]

Is that a fact? Surprising if true. What's the reason for that?

??how why??

By a huge margin, yes. Japanese immigration to Brazil is huge (and the other way around too). We're practically sister nations.

The opening ceremony even had a whole segment dedicated to Japanese immigrants.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

The IOC lists them by Golds won

"The IOC and the OCOG shall not draw up any global ranking per country." (pg. 99)

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

Thanks y'all!

 

[Dr.Acula]

Didn't the ceremonies begin at 7:00 Eastern time? Why would NBC delay an event already in prime-time? They're doing it just to be assholes at this point.

[Jamie OD]

Is that a fact? Surprising if true. What's the reason for that?

There was an emigration deal made between the two countries in the 19th century.

 

[Memento]

Is that a fact? Surprising if true. What's the reason for that?

??how why??

Yeah it is true

They emmigrated (or immigrated? I honestly forgot the correct term) massively to the south of the country

 

[Tubie]

Looks like NBC is about to show the global warming part after all.

 

[spindashing]

Am I even allowed to link an outside link? Quality is ass but I am sure it's better than NBC.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Did NBC really cut the climate change bit? Fucking gutless.

Wait, did the US channel really cut the climate change bit? That's ridiculous.

They're literally just introducing it now.

And it just got over now, so about 5-6 minutes. Is that how long it actually was?

 

[Diprosalic]

??how why??

simplified:
early 1900s brazil needed workers for their coffee plants as slave labour was made illegal and japan had a population boost and poverty after the end of feudalism.

also USA and Australia banned immigration of non-whites.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Didn't the ceremonies begin at 7:00 Eastern time? Why would NBC delay an event already in prime-time? They're doing it just to be assholes at this point.

They paid good money for the rights to the games, so they want to maximize their return.

 

[everyday math]

The climate change part is happening now...
Don't believe rumors

 

[Ganzlinger]

Is that a fact? Surprising if true. What's the reason for that?

??how why??

It's true. Immigration like the same as the USA.

That's why they were showed in the ceremony with the Europeans, Arabs and Africans.

 

[MIMIC]

I've seen that global warming GIF on GAF

 

[Acorn]

Luxembourg the team of bankers and tax dodgers.

 

[Jacir]

Even though i have this recorded till the end, i cant the coverage from NBC. Really feel bad for Brazil. Couldnt score a single goal against South Africa and all the negative nonsense around the Olympics in general.
