London and Vancouver,
Y'all have some work to do in 2010 and 2012 to top what the Chinese pulled off for the opening ceremonies of these games. I've been watching Olympics since the 1972 Munich games, and so far this opening ceremony was the best I've seen.
Ever since Barcelona used an archer shooting a flaming arrow to light the Olympic cauldron in 1992, everyone's been trying to one up each other. The Chinese upped the ante with Olympic great Li Ning walking through the air to light the cauldron at the Bird's Nest.
It's going to be interesting to see what they came up with for the closing ceremony, but for the next two and a half weeks, I'll sit back and enjoy the competition.
