I'm like a kid when it comes to the Olympics. Have watched them religiously since a small kid from start to finish. Looking forward to the next two weeks.

I'll watch as much as I can. I enjoy watching:

Tennis
Swimming
Running events

There are others but I can't think of them now. While the gymnastics athletes are amazing, I'm not glued to the TV for these events like most.

I couldn't tell you, sorry. Tonight was the first time I watched the 7's. I played when I was in middle and high school so I understand the sport. What I could tell is they self destructed.

Normally opening ceremony is low on my list but since working from home it makes for a good Friday back drop.

Lots of tennis to be played tonight.

Fiji is the two-time defending gold medalist in sevens. It's their national sport.

They were fortunate to win against Ireland, but remain the favorite.

There you go. Interesting. Probably still doesn't take the sting out for the Irish.

I turned it on to see a woman singing what I thought was opera on a boat with heavy metal music playing with headless mannequins behind… I was so confused

Palestinian athletes at the front of a boat rather than sandwiched by anyone else.

Definitely drag queens at that catwalk or whatever the hell it is.

Some of it is cool, but at the same time, it always feels like the opening/closing are the pinnacle in honoring the corrupt shakedown aspect of the Games.

I thought Celine Dion's performance was very powerful.

Overall the opening ceremony was very creative and colorful - I'd give it a solid A.

Caught the lighting of the cauldron. Thought is was pretty cool.

Can someone explain how the flame and balloon work, please?
