The best part I was too excited to see it. Back in 2012 I was turning 20 me, my brother & my cousin's Goddaughter was watching the 2012 London Olympics in my Aunt's bedroom we had a great time. It was my brother's 1st time & it was his 6th birthday we enjoy it

[@csabageorgs8021]

Taking a walk like this is one of my biggest dreams! It's an honor. Respect to all athletes!

And plus it was like 12 midnight in that stadium at that time! 😴😴

[@baxthered]

Then why was everyone awake, cheering them on?

[@lovemykiss9]

I remember watching this on TV and just being blown away by the number of nations competing. Just goes to show you just how much of an event like the Olympic Games can bring out friendship between nations. No politics or warring. And the soundtrack by High Contrast was the icing on the cake.

[@intermezzono1]

This was probably my favourite Olympics opening ceremony.

[@JulioGA14]

I wish North korea's (27:30) and South Korea's (48:20) athletes could walk as one just as they did in the 2000 Olympics

[@ajmoretina2109]

[@pixiecouture731]

they did during the sydney olympics

[@mdjiles]

So proud to be an American when I watch these over the years. Appreciate the cheers as always, and so glad this is not the NBC broadcast which is horrific. So proud of all of our athletes, across the board that have achieved SO much. Phelps. Bryant. May-Treanor. Gay. Taurasi. Also love watching the host country come out just as much. The reaction Team GB got blew the roof off the place (if it had one). Too bad it's every 4 yrs, after watching this, Im amp'd. Great stuff.

[@hurkydoesntknow]

I love watching this parade. It's so much fun to see all the nations come in and cheer for them! I hope to have the opportunity to see an opening ceremony someday.
