| One of the most boring and depressing openings ever! And I had high hopes it would be great. |

We watched it. It was very spare. Also parts were hard to see, in the lighting.
The Parade of Nations was good, even without spectators. |

| Agreed it was very spare. Honestly, I feel somewhat bad for Japan as the host country. I’m sure they were planning on putting on quite a show pre-COVID. Not to mention the influx of international athletes, trainers, and TV personnel during a global pandemic… |

| I missed it. Anyone know if they are rebroadcasting it? Or if it is On Demand or something? |

I watched it on demand on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. It cost $5/month but I’ll cancel it after the Olympics is over. |

And I think you have more Olympic events to,watch, not just what is televised on TV. |

| It was a boring opening ceremony. It seemed very sparse. The space was so big, and the number of performers was so small. I didn’t expect a ceremony as large as China or London, but geez, it’s like they didn’t even try. I’ll admit the drones were awesome. |

| The pictograms were pretty cool. A few teams seemed very excited (PORT-U-GAL!), but otherwise everything seemed muted and sparse. Clearly Japan didn't want to spend any more money than absolutely necessary, and it showed. |

| I’m just glad that the shirtless flag bearer from Tonga is back |

What a strange take. The city is currently in lockdown. The show was distanced. It wasn't cheap. |
