Not True! Opening: Carnival, Closing: Carnival. Done. End of Discussion.
Carnival in spirit, and color, and flair, yes!
But Carnival is natural, and impulsive, and organically unplanned. It's by the people, taking to the streets and joining parades. NOTHING about Olympic events is that way. They are going to need to try to evoke Carnival in ten-second scripted increments with two years' worth of choreography and coordinated instructions, for example, where section 452 knows to wave their ribbons at 1:32:05-15, timed against NBC's camera pan This kind of rigor is nothing like their culture. They are going to hit most of the same issues that Athens did. This is the Anti-Beijing. This will be FASCINATING.
