What’s with the floating people on the bridge?
Interesting how Bahrain had 2/13 of it's athletes on the boat, all 11 transfer athletes from Kenya and Ethiopia weren't there

I think it’s telling a gripping story that I’m don’t really get, but it’s all amazing to watch as is the music.

Please. Paris has French opera. LA will have West coast gangsta rap!
Has to be the worst ever
Lol I wonder what the Qatari and Saudi athletes thought of the last segment

Do you guys have a woman describing what's happening at all times? (e.g. "A ballet dancer dances on a podium...") Seems like an accessibility thing for blind people, but how do I turn it off for myself?
I started a thread about this and I think I figured it out. I have a touch screen monitor and when I touched the screen, an exclamation point and a speech balloon appear in the bottom left corner. If you touch the speech balloon, it will have options for Audio and Subtitles. Beside Audio it will have options for "English" and "English AW". Touch the "English" one and you should be good.
I can't stand Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Can't fvcking stand them. The only good one was in 2012 when Queen Elizabeth sky dived down onto Wembley.

Oh the dread...!!!
Nothing will ever match 2012
The accessibility voice over can be turned off by selecting the quote icon (bottom left), then "audio", then select "English" (the one with "Ad")
*without "Ad"

Mr Bean was great
I don't like them either but I have to say 2012 was just stunning. Bit biased but I've never seen anything come close.
This is very low key but that's ok. Better that than something trying too hard and still being lame.

That Skeletor guy has tireless Superman energy. Not sure how much is live versus recorded.
Ok, so it looks like Mr. Skeletor is in good part AI but there’s also a real guy live.
Opening Ceremonies are always boring.
With that said, a bunch of negative Nancy’s on here, I’m actually enjoying the oddness of this.
Can we please give a shout out to LIlly, Toyota and Xfinity (so far) for supporting the broadcast so that NO commercials interrupt the transmission? Thanks guys!! And maybe send this idea over to ESPN.
I’m assuming that at the end, the mask will come off and it will be revealed to be someone important. Any guesses?
Oops! Here comes a commercial! For breakdancing and paracanoe. Whatever that is...
