So the days or weeks leading up to the Olympics in Rio, Brazil was nowhere a smith transition. Talks of delays, the worries of the Zika virus and many other issues made people, including myself, question why did the IOC give the Olympics to this city. They beat out some amazing locations and I wonder if more came into play than just dumb luck.
Anyways I managed to make it able to see the the opening ceremony and like many others, it was very impressive. I still say that Bejing, China was the best I have ever seen. Brazil showed their love for art, music, dance and history.
The march of the nations were cool and one nation stood out or should I say one person of a nation. His name was Pita Taufatofua from Tonga. Now I am sure he was in traditional dress, but he had to have known the response he would have gotten. The lady commentators on MBC were funny in their response.
The rest of the ceremony was great and the cauldron for the Olympic Flame was especially impressive.
I hope the rest of the Olympics go well. I am the most concerned about the polluted beaches and waters. I guess we shall see.
