2026 Olympics Opening Ceremony - Mamma Mariah, Here We Go Again!

[Karen-W]

Lilah! Love her beaming smile along with the rest of Team GB!!!!

 

[my little pony]

our flag bearer is a cutie good for her

 

[PRlady]

Watching on RAI (Peacock works on phone but won’t cast to Italian TV) and it truly doesn’t matter that I can’t understand the commentary. What is there to say?

 

[Rob]

Love Haiti’s outfits, but where is the women’s version? Pics were so cool.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Terry, we are NOT getting closer & closer to Team USA entering. I mean, we are, but they're going to be 3rd to last since we're hosting in 2034, just ahead of 2030 host France, and host nation Italy.

Hong Kong flagbearer in Milano challenging Alysa Liu for the worst hairstyle

 

[Karen-W]

This Hong Kong short-track skater carrying the flag appears to have hair inspired by Alysa!

 

[Rob]

Did Mary Carillo just bust on Shaun White for talking about his mom incessantly?

 

[Karen-W]

You know, India, you've got a long ways to go with your Olympic sports program when Iran has twice as many athletes in the Winter Olympics than you.

 

[allezfred]

Aran jumpers!

 

[Matryeshka]

I need India's hat. I'll wear it with my Mariah Carey dress. I'm kinda into those Iranian outfits.

 

[Karen-W]

These Irish winter hats look like they have a dog bone super-imposed over a shamrock on the front. Very odd.

 

[Karen-W]

And here's Mariia Seniuk carrying Israel's flag! She looks gorgeous tonight.

 

[Andrea82]

In Pedrazzo they are getting sober....and in Livigno and Cortina higher

 

[Garden Kitty]

There's something about watching all these fit elite athletes that makes me want to snack. Ironic.

 

[Karen-W]

Ooooo - I like the Kazakh parkas. The ombre from blue to white with the navy sleeves & piping is very classy.

 

[Karen-W]

Just now seeing the Delta commercial - no "Welcome to Milan, Maia" in this one though, lol.

 

[rfisher]

Are we only up to the Ls???? My attention span isn't long enough to make it to the end.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Shaun White talking about his Olympics reminds me of the equally awkward Sasha Cohen chasing.

 

[Karen-W]

Lithuania! Terry telling us how Allison Reed was born in Michigan.

 

[MsZem]

I can't help but think that the last time Allison walked in an opening ceremony, she was 15 and it was the very somber Georgian delegation after the death of their luger shortly before the ceremony. Kudos to her for persevering. I wish her brother could have seen this moment.

 

[Karen-W]

Madagascar has skiers?!

 

[MsZem]

Awwwww Donovan

 

[Citlali]

Donovan

 

[Karen-W]

Go Donovan! Working that flag waving! LOVE it!

 

[MsZem]

Buy your own Mongolian deel here! You will only need to sell one kidney!

[Karen-W]

I can't believe NBC completely cut out Mongolia and their awesome opening ceremony outfits!

 

[Karen-W]

New Zealand - they brought it big time in the Men's Big Air snowboard qualification yesterday - three of them made it through to the Final (which only has 12 athletes).

 

[Rob]

Terry please tell Shaun we are talking about winter sports.

 

[Karen-W]

That's quite an outfit the Puerto Rican flag bearer has on.
