I wonder if the Russians can top previous winter opening ceremonies?
ah, I remember the opening ceremony from Albertville 1992, which was a sort of drug-induced dr seuss fantasy - each country was led by a woman in a plastic snow globe and wearing a curved sign with the country's name. and as they marched, the announcers read rhyming couplets of the most cheesy - stuff like “From the land down under with the funky mammalia! Let’s all welcome the team from Australia!”
well, perhaps not quite like that, but you get the idea....
