I ain't watching Channel 9.

There'll be heaps on YouTube.

France 24 will probably have a good summary.

Ima going out on a limb and declaring that had to be the cheapest Open Ceremony ever produced. And that is fine by me. IT takes over from doing it in real life. Cheap, in relative terms. I don't think they even used the Stadium, and of course, that is a guess.

You're confusing me.

I don't watch free-to-air TV.

I have/had no idea when the opening ceremony is/was.

I assume you meant a replay of the full opening ceremony (which I think happened about 6 or 7 hours ago).

Anyway, I'm still looking ...

Googling up some countries I never heard of, educating myself. Well the couldron amazed me! I won’t say here … spoil alert etc Celine did sing beautifully in French, I loved it. I was quite surprised at her comeback to singing on stage.
