Anyone watching the Olympics opening ceremony?

I'm watching it. I feel sorry that the entire team cannot take part in the opening ceremony, but they are trying to keep a bit of social distancing.

Nice for Zimbabwe that Japan is following its own alphabet, not English!

Never have never will.My choice.
Sport has never interested me.

Not even 2012?!
I’m no sport fan, but it was so glorious and joyous.
It makes me quite teary thinking about it; it seems a lifetime and another world away

Popping in and out just made me feel so sad to see all the empty seats and know that 70 have gone down with covid in the Olympic Village
Training for four years solid, travelling all that way then unable to take part, desperate days

OH had been watching it. I find it so sad and rather like a dress rehearsal.

I'm enjoying it. I like Andrew Cotter as a presenter too. I find him very informative. The costumes are gorgeous

San Marino ladies tottering along in high heels!

Russia banned so they're under a 'neutral' flag

I like all the snippets of history relating to certain countries names.

I thought the wooden rings, and the story behind them, were fabulous.
