....I'm sure all it took to pull it off was five years and death threatened to the family members of the performers if they did poorly.

the final torch bearer was about to plummet when the cable loosened to make him lean?

And Costas was right, if there were a trophy for opening ceremonies, retire it now.

Then again, I'm sure we'd have heard something about it prior to the ceremony.

I'm still partial to the 1992 Barcelona ceremonies flame lighting. The archer firing the flaming arrow over the cauldron to light it was simply amazing. Last night's was good too, but not the long "jog" he made was anticlimactic.
