Excellent opening ceremony. Very intelligent. Can't wait for next couple of weeks. Footie atmosphere was ace on Thursday, let the games commence and hopefully people will get behind it all.

Loved the opening ceremony. Especially giving our future in sport the honour of lighting the cauldron. I will have no voice left at the end of the 16 days. Love love love the Olympics. Good luck today to Mark Cavendish. Gold all the way :-)
Fantastic. it was hard to sleep after all that excitement, long may it continue.Originally Posted by RaceTheSweeper
Couldn't believe my eyes either. Perhaps the last Olympics that guy had been to was Berlin in 1936 and he just assumed it was the done thing.
Look at the video clips, he's using his left arm / hand. Nazi salute is the right arm / hand!!
I bow to your superior expertise in such matters :w00t:
I'll be honest, I read that part in the paper, as lots of people were saying it's a nazi salute, as I thought yesterday. But when you see the clips, its quite obvious with the wrong hand. I do remember some parts of GCSE history!!
In the cycling, the coverage by the bbc is very poor compared to the TDF.
Watched the opening ceremony until just after China came in and then the electrics blew.
I'm watching it on Eurosport, the commentary is better, but there's still no information and it's the same terrible production.
