Awwwww.... Georgia

I can't imagine what is going through the minds of the Georgian delegation.

Ok, I've finally noticed the flag thing in the audience, and it IS really cool.

 

[Scornelius]

A 60000 person standing ovation for Georgia. Beautiful.

 

[Imzadi]

I'm glad to see the athletes actually have a flag light enough to be waved. One year, the flag poles were so heavy, the athletes had to wear a flag body harness just to hold the flags up. They had to have Olympic strength to hold them.

 

[OK!]

Oh dear...the pants on the Irish delegation were, um, bright.

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

I liked that the Jamaican just couldn't really figure out how to wave just the flag pole. Gave me a laugh!

 

[Shutterbug]

no Jamaican bob sled team this time

 

[autumnpalm]

I love that Japan was waving Canadian AND Japanese flags!

 

[Imzadi]

I never understood how Jamaica can have bobsledders, when they have no natural snow.

I cannot wait to see whose going to bring in the flame.

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

Those Norwegians are handsome people!

 

[OK!]

I cannot wait to see whose going to bring in the flame.

It's been announced who's going to light it but I won't spoil the surprise for ya.

China and a few other countries did that too. I love it!!

Really??? I missed that!!

 

[OK!]

Have the white-clad folks been doing the funky dancing throughout this and I just didn't notice, or did they suddenly burst into dance a second ago?

If they freaking miss Sweden during this commercial break I am gonna bust somebody's head!

 

[autumnpalm]

It's been announced who's going to light it but I won't spoil the surprise for ya.

Where was this announced? I'm dying to know!

 

[OK!]

Really??? I missed that!!

I heard it on Twitter several hours ago, from several sources. If you think about it, it's a pretty obvious choice.

Mmm. . . McDonalds. . . the healthy food of Olympians. (Not!)
