    In 1904, the Brits set the formality for modern Olympics at the the London Olympics. Hitler took the Olympics in Berlin as a stage to display his ambition to rally People behind him and his evil enterprise. Ever since the Olympics has been associated with national pride, international power. Maybe the Brits are on to something else again. Is it going to be 1904 or a failed attempt no one gets. One thing for sure, the Brits deep inside still live in their colonial past.

    That Ceremony went from corny, to awful when they busted out the synchronized fist pumping.

    Hands down the worst opening ceremony I ever seen.

    yeah, why the hell did they get the commercial break. I had to look it up. Mostly swimming and track and judo.



    They're playing Pet Shop Boys. I like this.

    So many iconic british music that can be played during the opening ceremony, tough to choose.
