A masterpiece. Let alone the breathtaking industrial bit with the Olympic rings 🥲😭 this intro bit with the build up through the tunnel gives me all the chills

Well this is heating up! While here, take a dive into the behind the scenes story of how they broadcast the Olympics in a pandemic! The story of Tokyo 2020/+1

This perspective always blows me away (and makes me a little jealous)

Thissssss. What an angle - a distant memory irl but enviable insight into such a position

Wasn’t the whole thing great? Hard to squeeze in the ‘highlights’

What’s the song they use for this sequence?

Map of the Problematique by Muse Notable as the official theme song of London 2012 - Survival - was done by Muse

I hadn't remembered that 2 of the '6' balloons didn't pop 😆I recall Beijing 2008 being spectacular, and then #London2012 was something else...that is now the benchmark 'til the end of days.

Is there any other recording of the opening ceremony other than the youtube stream? The audio quality is awful 😭
