it was beautiful and all, but this years parade of nations was poor because the U.S. was gone within the first 70 countries, so it was a long wait for the rest of the ceremonies, unlike in past years, when it was the U.S. then 5-10 minutes later the parade is over. i was not at all surprised about the guy who lit the cauldron. it was obvious it would be some greek athlete unknown to most of the world. the cauldron coming down was pretty cool

They didn't show enough of the USA, they spent more time showing China, Cuba, etc. it was absurd.
