From the descriptions I'm getting, I'm surprised he needs an entire hand.

EDIT: Huh, I'm being told the Koreas have gone as one team in the past. This I did not know.

Russia is simply taking an anti-Fascist stance against European Nazi products, they should be applauded. ¡No parmesan!

He was a big lad, thats for sure!

They probably went as one Korea before the place was split in 2... ?

Fiji win the flag bearer contest. Easily.

It sounded like after. I'll have to do some research.

Hehe, my commentators are gushing over Adele. Also, Finland! Whatever they look like.

The Cuban flag bearer is the guy who won the gold medal in the 120 kg Greco-Roman category. He's a pretty big dude. People thought he defected and was training to be an MMA fighter a few years ago.

The Mongolian flag appears to be being carried by Ghengiz Khan. Not quite as good an outift as Fiji, but still impressive.

Someone really didn't think the "bright white uniforms" thing through.

The ceremony was surprisingly well done.  The flame was definitely cool.  Plenty of inexplicable moments in the early part though.

Hmm. It's just starting here. I guess I'll just have to see what's so unexplainable. It all seems pretty good so far.

I got to watch part of it. I enjoyed it, parents thought it was stupid and switched to HGTV.  :-\

Thankfully, it was recorded, so I can watch the rest some other time. I'm really looking forward to seeing the outfits all the different countries were wearing, and listening to Sir Paul McCartney!

3 sports Belgium *could* get a medal in today.
Cycling, judo and tennis.

EDIT:

Oh, and i loved the opening ceremony AFTER the part with the smithing of the ring, that part was kinda boring. (i had gone to bed about an hour after that tough)
Rowan Atkinson ftw!

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Admittedly, the countryside bit was a little dull, but I enjoyed pretty much all of the Industrial Revolution. The music was more intense, those smokestacks rose forever, and of course the top-hat guys were fun to watch. I wonder if TotalBiscuit was out there :P

The countryside stuff was certainly a bit better than the bizarre dance medley/terrible love story thing it devolved into.

There were a couple of good songs involved, too, though. If only they'd chosen the Pistols' God Save the Queen...
Whoah wait, what, I'm just reading a list of songs they played. Did they really play that?! With the Queen in attendance? :o
I wonder what she thought of that...  :P Seems like a surprising choice.
