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

[rfisher]

Does Shaun White ever stop talking about himself????

no, He, Tony Hawk and Kelly Slater used to do a lot of events together and it was a toss up as to which one promoted themself more. It was a board thing.

 

[Karen-W]

WTH - full on commercial break instead of a split screen to see the parade of athletes as it continues?! Screw you, NBC/Peacock!

 

[my little pony]

they arent kidding, if you try to use amex or mc in the official store they will say no cowbell for you, or at least that was true before

Took me to the “K” to notice the ice block with countries’ name on it.

Did you notice the big ice block for the live DJ?

 

[Hanna]

Cha looking pretty excited to be a flagbearer. Lee filming it all and Shin looking happy to just be there.

 

[millyskate]

Absolutely love it from a visual perspective. The most stylish opening ceremony ever, can't beat the Italians for sophistication!

 

[Garden Kitty]

im tired of this athlete talking about himself instead of the athlete im looking at

Really, that's Tara's job.

 

[Hanna]

We wuzrobbed of Petrokina and Selevko.

 

[skipaway]

Did you notice the big ice block for the live DJ?

Lol, of course not!

 

[Wyliefan]

Shaun White doing his best impression of Tara talking about himself. Figure skating is pervasive already.

It's very skating-centric of you to suggest that a skater was the one to originate the practice.

 

[Wyliefan]

This DJ is really having a blast.

 

[Andrea82]

first time I see half a smile on Berulava

 

[Hanna]

Not the worst parkas Finland ever had in the opening ceremonies.

Wheeeee Juulia & Matthias & Maurizio! Yuka & Juho WUZROBBED

Edit: (Not a) fun fact: half of the Finnish women's hockey team have a stomach bug and therefore not present That's like my worst nightmare for the Olympics

 

[MsZem]

Did you know that Diana Davis is one half of a pair figure skating team?

 

[Andrea82]

German outfit beats Czechia. Not in the the good way

 

[Karen-W]

Germany's ponchos > Canada's ponchos

 

[Karen-W]

German outfit beats Czechia. Not in the the good way

But they're still better than whatever shit it was that Lululemon came up with for Canada.

 

[Matryeshka]

Oh, Germany now in the mix for most spirited athletes with Brazil and Australia. They clearly found the beer hall.

 

[Hedwig]

Mention of Minerva Hase by German commentator and after one minute he remembered Nikitas name as well

Shaun White doing his best impression of Tara talking about himself. Figure skating is pervasive already.

OMG he’s so annoying. And getting free advertising. Terry needs to tell him to cut it out.

 

[victorskid]

I am so glad some folks have yet something else to denigrate Canada about

 

[my little pony]

somewhere even tara thinks this guy is too self centered

 

[Citlali]

Narrator is a Fanyu

 

[Andrea82]

Yes, in Pedrazzo they all got the key of the alcohol fridge

 

[millyskate]

I'm majorly jealous of all of their winter outfits. Love Japan's, simple, stylish and comfy looking.

 

[Karen-W]

Here we come with Japan! I know Kaori put it out there already that she was skipping the Opening Ceremony.

 

[allezfred]

Brits wearing Ben Sherman repping chav chic.

 

[Matryeshka]

It's very skating-centric of you to suggest that a skater was the one to originate the practice.

Listen, missy, you take your woke revisionist commentary elsewhere. We know what sport the Olys are about.

LOVE the Japanese and Italian flags, how classy.

 

[Hanna]

I mean the German ponchos are memorable at least

 

[Hedwig]

I have to admit - impressed how much the random commentator knows about skating - just mentioned that it could be the first medal for GB since Torvill Dean, mentioned Kaori before, talked about Davis and Berulava etc.
