NBC's opening montage for 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio

[@edgecityfilms]

I could watch it a thousand times and still be choked up... thank you for posting.

[@-C.S.R]

Well done! NBC is King of the Olympics! They have that classic music from John Williams and Company they use with there amazing intros and they also have Bob Costas!

[@MrGrenade121]

I still remember bobs infected eye and he still went on the air

[@Elemental_Entity]

No, they are getting pretty bad, they don't even play Williams Olympic theme itself at the start like they used to which really takes you out of it.

[@retrowarehouse2554]

They need to bring back the opening intros, they took them away during the last summer games.

[@petrickm]

They did it last summer, it was narrated by Leslie Odom. They didn't do one for Beijing 2022, which I'm willing to bet is because of logistical and political nightmares of location and covid...

[@retrowarehouse2554]

@@petrickm Yeah, I agree it's likely the location and the pandemic that forced them into not doing one, but I see this year it returned, now that we're back to having a normal Olympics again.

@@retrowarehouse2554 thanks for bringing this to my attention -- I had missed the Spielberg intro when I watched on Friday so I went back and found it

[@eduardomissio875]

Tokyo 2021 starts tomorrow and I'm here watching this fantastic intro 👏

[@laurenmeltzer7159]

I miss Bob Costas. ☹️

[@cross2572]

Love these explosive intro openings from NBC

[@akawhippy]

FIFA World cups of soccer should also have an intro like this.

Such beautiful

[@johndee759]

I like the opening montage of 2004.

[@RaymondHng]

James Earl Jones also narrated the montage for the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5Pck5VsbrysmtE

[@spacenerd9499]

super bummed there are no olympics this year. the olympics is a time to put aside our differences and come together in the spirit of games. ill cross my fingers for next time

[@goldeneve]

Let’s hope

[@randommediaarchive9598]

And now they’re finally happening in 2021

[@francisnguyen6349]

Splendid.

[@elitonborges8683]

Rio de Janeiro ❤️

[@charliem6053]

Came and watched the whole video just for the final five.

[@MeganWoodard1984]

People bitched so much about Rio hosting the Olympic games but they did a wonderful job!!! Now I was NOT happy w how NBC put together the events, having to wait until the very end to see the Gymnastic events and then end up showing 5 minutes of it or say sorry you'll half to watch this after cause we weren't paying attention to the time pissed me off. Hopefully they will be better this year for the games in South Korea.

[@Nicperr]

Do you have the video for NBC Opening PyeongChang Olympic Games 2018?

[@Aladdin7796]

Like to see Maria Taylor host the 2028 Summer Olympics as what Bob Costas used to do. Also for Jessica Alba do the narration with the montage before the opening ceremony.

[@Garapetsa]

anyone...notice the majority of seats are Empty!

[@StsFiveOneLima]

This is good, but 2004 was THE BEST that they ever did. Amazing.

[@Elemental_Entity]

Beijing was pretty well done with the opening. 2000 2004 2008 with her best opening years.

[@petrickm]

@@Elemental_Entity I mean when you follow James Earl Jones with Andre Braugher, you can't go wrong...

[@savp199524]

NBC has big fucking flaws, but it at least has epic intros and Williams music Now imagine that production with everything live without the reality tv show thematics, tape delay and American exceptionalism to the point where all the other athletes and sports are thrown away like trash

[@canalTvd2847]

BRAZIL❤❤❤❤❤

[@petrickm]

Does anybody know who the narrator is for this?

[@katieanderson1977]

what was the name of the song at the beginning of the video

[@Elemental_Entity]

Where the hell is the Olympic fanfare by Williams??? Without that you don't have an opening to the Olympics NBC. 😒

[@promethius2025]

only nbc could mess up the Olympic coverage !

When you only came here to watch gymnastics....

[@linkrules32]

Not the same without costas. The music helps though

[@mollygarden9535]

Only thing that would make this better is Jim McKay!!!

[@RaymondHng]

McKay passed away in 2008 at age 86.

[@petrickm]

Wanna hear McKay, check out the 2002 opening...

[@tommyk1934]

You want more background and reality, facts good and bad, read the UNEXPURGATED Works of CAROLINA MARIA DE JESUS. A brilliant black woman who independently raised three children in the Favela -- desperately poor slums -- and let nothing stop her from writing poems, novels, plays, essays and her amazing diary. I can't look at any of this without thinking of her.

[@jamesflames7888]

song from 5:00 minutes on?

[@smortorsports]

james flames its audio machine- Voyage of Dreams

[@user-tm3si7pw3u]

Nice opening, too bad that the ollympics turn out to be a shit!

[@Garapetsa]

could be only me....but these Olympics seem boring. I had to change channel after hearing the same questions and answer. Majority of these athletes are already multi millionaires. 95% of the folks representing other countries train and live in USA for 9 months/year. go figure. These games just don't have the glitz of past. I'm sick of Costas. he too is a millionaire
