I remember I was only 12 years old when the Beijing Olympics happened in 2008. Back then I was watching my little TV and I was absolutely blown away by how they managed to deliver such a powerful, aesthetically pleasing opening ceremony at that time.

As a Greek, people are asking why Greece goes first in the Flag Nation? This is because in 776 BC the first Olympics were set in Greece. The Greek Olympic committee, made a contract with the Host Olympic committee to Hist Greece first.

I don't have much impression of the Athens Olympics, but after the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, I doubted if any other country could bring such a spectacular performance. However, the truth is, London did it. They showcased their culture to the world very well. As for Paris. Well, they fully proved that they were once the birthplace of The Enlightenment.😅

London's Pandemonium segment still leaves me in awe. I absolutely love Underwolds composition and when all that energy from thousands of drums and shouts wind down to the simple whistled tune to honour the fallen from the World Wars, I still get teary-eyed. The final movement is a climactic finish that thrills me every time I watch it.

Many of the ceremonies for the past 20 years are great, but I only watched Beijing thrice and still find something new, which maybe I missed during the first 2 viewing. Maybe its a grand production, so many things happening at the same times, and with so much detailing, so prone to escape your eyes if you are not fast enough.

@@gymboreeplaymusicwarwickan5216 More interesting culture... Highly doubt that. When a ceremony showcases three thousand years of a fantastic and unique culture of the oldest nation in the world is compared with a ceremony that sprinkled a few pop culture references... it's not hard to see which one's more cultured. If you can't connect with a culture completely alien to you, that's fine. But think twice before completely brushing them off. Also, about your point about UK being more impactful on the world... How so? In the current world, China has a much bigger economy, political presence, and influence than the tiny British isles. Or, if you're talking about the British empire, where they enslaved, killed, raped, and tortured foreign peoples during colonization, is that a sort influence you should be proud of? Absolutely ridiculous.

Sometimes, the best and most inspiring moments are the little things that get lost in the spectacle. At the Berlin Olympics in 1936, Sohn Kee-Chung, a native Korean, won the gold medal in the marathon, setting an Olympic record in the process. But because Korea was occupied by Japan at the time, he had to compete under the Japanese flag, his medal was credited as being won for Japan, and he even had to compete under the Japanese version of his name. At the Seoul Olympics in 1988, he brought the Torch into the stadium.....under his own name....

No, they didn't, I'm Greek. The history of the Olympic torch is the flame, and WHERE IT CAME FROM: FIRE COMES FROM GOD, THAT CREATED THE SUN. Please study the " lighting of the torch, and where the FLAME COMES FROM. ( The very first Olympic games in 78 BC) China did NOT CREATE THE FLAME! Greece, at first pray to God as we are SPRITIUAL people, that only the Creator of the Universe gives fire/ flame 🔥 for lighting the Olympic torch. Please get your facts right. First.

Please study the very first Olympic games and lighting of the torch that was in Greece in 78 BC ON HOW THEY SEEK GOD TO " GIVE THE FLAME OF FIRE " FOR THE TORCH. CHINA DID NOT CREATE THE FLAME!

For all of you claiming that the best olympic games opening ceremony was Beijing or London, you either have not wached the Athens opening ceremony or you cannot really appreciate and understand the meaning of it. Olympic games came back home. Everything that was presented was not just ancient greece' s history but also the origins and history explanation of the olympic games themselves. The goal was achieved through simplicity, armonia and aesthetics with loyalty to what the olympic games symbolise

@@NL-tr7ix I honestly was not expecting Spice Girls but that was my fav part of the closing ceremony. Hopefully WM will do a countdown of Closing Ceremonies because those can be fun too, especially with the previews for the next olympics. Like my geek side when crazy at the Rio Closing Ceremony when Japan do their little thing buy showing off anime and video game icons.

It’s hard to top Beijing. But can we also mention that Tokyo 64, being the first games in a country that didn’t use the Latin alphabet, was the first time the pictograms were used for the different sports as well?

It’s really hard to find a bad Olympics opening ceremony tbh. Tokyo’s was good given the necessary restrictions but imagine the show they could’ve put on without the pandemic. My favourites were Sydney, London 2012, Athens & Beijing.
