Seoul’88 with doves burned alive is on the list? And no Sochi’14? Biased and shallow, WM.
I agree with you that chine did the best Olympic ceremony in the world ? it was fantastic
What you mean is ‘Top 10 Olympic rituals’
RIO 2016 DID THE BEST OLYMPIC OPENING CEREMONY EVER.
Why? Lets see:
– The first ceremony that talked about the past, the present and the FUTURE
– The first ceremony with a talk about all the whole world, not only about the host country;
– The first ceremony that showed the REAL STORY of the country (Like the slavery, favelas, extition of natives, etc) and not only the glories
– A really dinamic and compact plot (Not segmented like previous ceremonies)
– One of the lowest budgets of an olympic ceremony in the modern era
– The most inovative and funny parede the athletes with Bikes carring the name of the countries
– The first ceremony with a really important mensage for the world, about the ecology and social diversity
– The Athletes Florest, a REAL FOREST with 11k trees (THE MOST GENIAL IDEIA EVER)
– Most smart and surprising Olympic Rings of the history
– Most beutiful, inovative and awesome couldron ever
– Most stunning and surprising couldron lighing ever seen
But well, just my opnion. 🙂
IMO I think LA has too many Olympics, there are plenty of American cities just as deserving and or capable of the Olympics
