Definitely forget the slight emptiness that creeps up when the final day hits. But the winter games aren't far off and I'm looking forward to Tokyo a lot!

 

[Brazil]

Soundtrack's amazing.

 

[D4Danger]

Yeah. Swimming people are usually gone. I think it must feel weird to be in Rio for a week with nothing to do; lots of these people have other stuff to do I imagine.

eat mcdonalds and fuck like rabbits

I always figured they tuck around to watch other events, cheer on their countrymen. I get why some of the US Swimmers left. Would be totally inappropriate for them to attend, but I thought they would be an exception to the rule.

I thought in the end Ryan Lochte would appear naked in a cage.

Yeah, I always feel that way. And I enjoy the 2 weeks where the world seems to come together and everyone is friendlier. I felt that a little bit more with London but it was still good here. I kinda feel like people stop paying attention the more we lose like..people watching TV and sitting around in front of a TV every night. But still cool.

 

[self_aware_keyboard]

at last!

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

The stadium is half empty. Such a shame.

 

[Quasenada]

Dat waterproof keyboard

 

[Ganzlinger]

Kygo my man

 

[D4Danger]

the way he said "fastest artist to one billion streams on spotify"

bbc commentator had no idea what he was reading lol

 

[Tyrael]

Oh, the paraolympics only start on 7 of setember. I tought it was almost imediately.

Well, 2 more weeks to go back to the stadiums!

 

[Majine]

Kygo!

 

[Mesousa]

So I'm guessing this closing ceremony on NBC right now is tape delayed?

 

[Eylos]

Togo man returns

 

[Oersted]

I gonna visit the Olympics channel now to watch athletes dance in front of terrible default graphics.


Thanks Bach.

 

[bgbball31]

Aww yeah Kygo!

Somehow, the rain seems fitting. Makes it look really cool at the very least.

 

[Quasenada]

A wild togo man appears

 

[Tugatrix]

The return of the baby oil guy

 

[SchrodingerC]

Fuck the IOC now and forever~

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

I know the real reason why NBC tape-delayed the ceremony.

So they can shove as many goddamn commercials in there as they want.

 

[Rainy]

So I'm guessing this closing ceremony on NBC right now is tape delayed?

Yeah it's at least 1 hour behind, but moreso because of the commercials.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Oh, the paraolympics only start on 7 of setember. I tought it was almost imediately.

Well, 2 more weeks to go back to the stadiums!

yep. then after that I'm afraid they'll begin their decay until they start looking like Olympic park in Athens

 

[DrForester]

Guy in the bottom left got lost.

 

[Oersted]

A commercial was just part of the show

Yup.

 

[SchrodingerC]

They have doing that since...forever.

 

[Mesousa]

Did they say Carinhoso was his song? Of course not? Isn't it by Pinxinguinha?

 

[Majine]

Despite its fair share of scandals, I truly believe the Olympics are a major force for good in the world. Doesn't mean it's perfect, far from it. But I would definately not want to see it go.

 

[Setsuna]

Lets see if they can beat Londons - Take That - Rule The World

I know the real reason why NBC tape-delayed the ceremony.

They are streaming it live

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

I'm going to miss the Olympics so bad

 

[D4Danger]

Oh, the paraolympics only start on 7 of setember. I tought it was almost imediately.

they really should do it first. it feels like all the hype goes after tonight.

 

[Tyrael]

they really should do it first. it feels like all the hype goes after tonight.

I agree, maybe they will rethink it for Tokyo.

 

[self_aware_keyboard]

So sleepy!
I just want to see the Tokyo part

 

[Tomasoares]

I love dancing forró

 

[perfectchaos007]

That's a really good idea actually. No offense to paralympians but it just doesn't have the same coverage or appeal as the main olympics. And in a concert the headliner never plays first, but people will come early for the opening acts. The paralympics can be a great "opening act" and it could boost attendance significantly if the paralympians competed before the olympians

 

[Oersted]

The commentators kept making the point that the intent is to make it not look too folkloristic.

It does feel slightly folkloristic.

 

[D4Danger]

I agree, maybe they will rethink it for Tokyo.

it would also stop them robbing the money which is shameful

imagine you had an opening ceremony, paralympics, olympics then closing. A solid month or so of sport and everyone is included.

yes, exactly. I would be way better.

 

[Eylos]

I think the rain is giving a cool/beautiful effect

 

[Ganzlinger]

These artists deserve all the praise for dancing in the rain

 

[Oersted]

I think the rain is giving a cool/beautiful effect

Yeah, works well for it.

 

[Tomasoares]

paraolympics imo should be at the same time as the regular ones? idk, but I didn't know it existed till much later lol

 

[Ganzlinger]

Asa Branca, amazing.

 

[Memento]

Asa Branca is so good

 

[Dr.Acula]

Yeah. Now I'm ready for these Olympics to end... Any hour now...

 

[gashikunFLCL]

Asa Branca is so good.

 

[Quasenada]

Asa Branca is so good

Asa Branca is so good.

Agreed
