this was the premiere of this changed handover ceremony. the raising of the flag of Greece, lowering of the olympic flag and finally the raising flag fom the next host after the handover of the olympic flag. previously it was greece, the host and the next host.

God bless Greece! And to the Greek polytheists, I say this: May Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysus bless your country.

WOW. Those falls are SO powerful. It's mesmerizing! I've subbed for more. I'm a travel vlogger myself, heading to New Zealand this year, I hope you'll join me on my adventure too.

wow I'm speechless ..

Ελλάδα, εσύ έδωσες τα φώτα σου και τους ολυμπιακούς αγώνες σε όλο τον κόσμο. Μπορεί η σημαία και ο ύμνος της διοργανώτριας χώρας να αλλάζουν κάθε τετραετία, αλλά η σημαία και ο εθνικός ύμνος της Ελλάδας παραμένουν σε κάθε διοργάνωση. Σε κάθε χώρα του κόσμου που διοργανώνονται ολυμπιακοί αγώνες ακούγεται ο ελληνικός εθνικός ύμνος. Είμαι περήφανος που είμαι Έλληνας. Proud to be Hellene.

The feeling was really overwhelming. Plus, she sung it perfectly, something that Greeks do not do unfortunately. thank you :-)

Congratulations for your national holiday today Greece Sind 1940 Greece celebrates the Ochi Day Greece is an amazing beautiful country with so nice landscape and so charming people Wish all greek people only the best for the future from your friends in Germany <3

I'm Greek and her performance of our national anthem was PERFECT. Her voice is excellent and you can feel in her voice that she was proud of performing,plus her opera voice gave the anthem the dramatic and sharp tone. Well done Ariana! I

Thank you for the information... I couldn't understand she's Greek... In my opinion these interpretations are very nice for opera concerts... But not for our National Anthem... It makes the whole thing quite...pretentious... That's why I thought she was Austrailian...That's just my opinion... Nevertheless, she a very talented mezzo-soprano...

I recognize you by the fearsome sharpness, of your sword, I recognize you by the gleam (in your eyes) with which you rapidly survey the earth. From the sacred bones, of the Hellenes arisen, and strengthened by your antique bravery, hail, o hail, Liberty!

I got goose bumps...

GREEK'S MUSTN'T ''DAM'' ANYONE...ANTONIOS FROM GREECE.

She's Greek her professional name is listed in the About section but her birth name is Αριάδνη Χριστοδουλοπούλου

I would like to know if she understands what she is singing....

thank you Russian brother!! greetings from Greece

Lovely. Thanks!

800 thats a bit high :) ive gotten used to the low iso so i havent had much problems just practice practice and if you're still having trouble getting that shot try one in auto mode that may help as for camera pro its not geared to the 808 at all really its really meant for the N8 i dont know why the developer would add the 808 into the title it doesnt add anything of value for it imo

seems to blur quite easily slightest motion and bam blurry think it has something to do with the iso setting (since it affects shutter speed) so if ur iso is set at 50 or 100 you gotta be still very still :)

Bwahaha epic ... Just like a M.Night Shyamalan movie

yes i was it was great but it looked like people had more fun in the festivities going on outside

you were actually there?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i see you're pretty butt hurt about being called out for being unpopular while living in vancouver... again there isn't anything wrong with that some people just cant get by and they find somewhere else that they can succeed in; glad you found dallas hopefully its doing you better than vancouver

@Mosaicization they had no other choice, it's a traditional ritual of the Olympics....And also that's why the greek team leads the parade of the athletes during the opening ceremony in both winter and summer Olympics ;)
