[LMA629]

awww that little girl who fell at 5:03-5:04. too cute :)

[zawlinmoe]

I'd hate to be one of the kids with the horse things looking back at how gay I looked in front of the world.

[starion9814]

Wow they wheeled out Brezhnev.  I'm glad they were able to resussicate him and bring him back to life. After the Olympic ceremony he was spoon fed his dinner, received CPR to keep his heart going and he went to sleep - which was clinical death!

[SYKTYVKAR100]

супер

[GravityPowerful]

We were happier than now with the USSR

[pokeparty123]

Everyone who boycotted this

FUCK YOU

[teddibaker]

This made me remember the first time I wear a red scarf of young pioneer when I was kid, do not know why

[SnowMozart]

I was born in the wrong time and place though =|

I miss this time.

thanks to USSR for best childhood!:D

[cheburashko02]

spasibo. pochi ve pesni pomu :) tanjk you so much!! :)))

[Ciscoloco86]

Thank you so much for posting this mgpoliveira, just as everyone knows, the United States and their allies boycotted these Games in an act that can only be considered completely pathetic and despicable. Political standoffs should not be brought to the Games. Thanks Jimmy Carter for having deprived countless athletes the experience of competing at the Moscow Olympic Games and possible medals. It is indeed sad that instead of being the mature one, the Soviet Union shamefully followed suit in 1984.

[farwayout]

These games were a severe casualty of the American boycott.Sadly these games have too many negative political overtones and statements.A comment someone had posted previously was that Many more world records were achieved in Moscow than in Los Angeles. Now ask yourself was this the INTENT and purpose of the Olympic motto and ideals?Maybe a more sensible realization is the UNITY, SPORTSMANSHIP and Friendship of the Olympic spirit is what we should foster and approach!

[YagoDiego]

@farwayout Your statement here is wrong. The Olympic motto is CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS. Hope you may translate it from Latin.

[farwayout]

@YagoDiego You seem to have this "FIXATION" and a hidden agenda with Soviet and East German athletic WORLD RECORDS! Higher, Stronger, Faster-indeed! Athletes from those two countries made MANY ACCOMPLISHED WORLD RECORDS but AGAIN-AT WHAT PRICE! MANY have suffered from too many years of steroid abuse at the hands of their respective sports doctors and now suffer from numerous AFFLICTIONS with their health! THIS IS NOT THE EMBODIMENT/PHILOSOPHY OR IDEALS OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES!

[YagoDiego]

"Citius, altius, fortius" justifies only those means framed within the Olympic Ideals. Likewise the GDR, Soviet and others, American athletes extensively used enhancing drugs in the 80's and 90's. Some of them did not survive to tell about it (F. Griffin). Full U.S. laboratories (BALCO) produced new drugs (THG...) at commercial scales. Among their clients, J.C. Hunter and M. Jones have been legally punished, others have been also stripped of their Olympic medals: A. Pettigrew, Crystal Cox...

[medriaz2]

правда,супер!но,вспоминая манеру устраивания "всенародных торжеств" в Совке,почему-то представляется всесоюзный тренер с палкой,гоняющий по стадиону советских детишек...Хотя,речь идет о гимнастике...И сдесь без крови и пота ... Да,собственно,как и в любом спорте!

[zhlanvine]

how sweet, charming and full of joy! we all need it now as never...((

great event!!!

[Evgar1]

Dear, comrades! Viva la Russa!

[fcbcdl]

Sweet 80´s. Soviet Childrens always were good educated.

[carmenphilomelae]

this is so great!!!! :) really wonderful!

love from the USA.

[spb2NM]

thanx man. the first faithful comment from your side of the map )

[vonkaunaz]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! and, why not, nostalgic. Boys and girls with perhaps the most classical toys: the stick horse and the doll, toys that boosted physical activity, imagination and creativity unlike so many of the present-day techno toys that alienate children. The Misha cubs were delightful and fun. The gymnastics routines: talk about athletic, devoted and healthy children. A ceremony like this with children of our days? Maybe a bunch of lined-up fat alienated creatures playing the Xbox.

[cortezawwris]

Speak of western children do speak of children of the eastern world.

[LMA629]

@vonkaunaz not all kids are fat and a lot of kids these days play sports and do gymnastics

[hyper1282]

USSR was first country who was made Olympic show programme (not official parade) at opening ceremony.

[CTAJIuHrPAD]

до чего же трогательно! какие хорошие года

[farwayout]

Thanks again to the Many East German sports Doctors whom enabled and gave great advantages to their countrymen to achieve that awe inspiring winning edge-And WHY NOT!Look at now what has happened to many of their athletes(GDR)-CANCER,STERILITY and IRREPARABLE HORMANAL DAMAGE_YEA, Thank you for those few minutes of FLEETING FAME and GLORY!!!!

[Dankku94]

RUSSIA IS BEST½!!!1

[matou921]

vive l'urss !!!

[matou921]

geregregrger

[matou921]

[camrad63]

And I had a doll like in 3.50 in my chidhood!!!

[ElPeruanoUFO]

[camrad63]

The soviet childrens song are the best!!!

[tiguron330]

o sea q te atraen, te atrapan y son muy ritmicas

[angelalovemarcus]

Ahhhh Misha concrete face Brezhnev almost smiled. would have cracked his face in half if he had.

[psyf]

Ааа))) Боже меня тогда меня даже небыло, а все эти детские песни знает наизусть наверное каждый ребёнок страны =))) Раньше спорт был доступным ,вот что значит спорт для детей, не то что щас в России ,один спортсмен на 1000 человек((( и то платно(((

[wipo1991]

alguien sabe el nombre de esa cancion tan padre esta hermosa

[tiguron330]

los ritmos rusos son muy contagiosos

[kachala]

que quere decir "contagiosos"?

[YagoDiego]

Que son llenos de ánimos y se quedan fácilmente en la memoria.

[RussianPreved]

Тупорылым американцам слово не давали.

[ElPeruanoUFO]

I'm sorry I can't understand what your saying please stop using UTube based in Silicon Valle en Calihornea

[KhalqiTojikBikhez]

what do u mean?

[chancayano]

the music is freaking scary,always the russians had that music,scary...weel that opening ceremony was really scary i dont know, i think all must be just perfect for his president

[JPPT1974]

Misha should come on back and make a comeback. Because Misha rocks! But this time, no boycott please!

[NASSERQW]

Moscow's Olympics in 1980 was the best Olympic Games that held since all time !

Long life for Great Russians !!

Many Thanks for them..

My tears would never dry....

Best opening and closing Ever made

[Soviet4lyfe]

Hahaha and to think that the Soviets won 80 golds that year...those kids are really cute btw ;]

[jamessmedley82]

Brezhnev was one UGLY mo********er.

[NASSERQW]

moscow opning is the best at all.. still no country can do the same .

[Dyldo21]

Beijing ring any bells?

[dcs002]

Yeah, Beijing was grand and colossal, but these were kids! Beijing made me say WOW! But these children filled me with a sense of joy! Their skill en masse was impressive, but any little mistakes just made it seem more honest.

I think Beijing seriously must have gotten some of their ideas from the Moscow ceremonies, particularly the human towers.

Thanks so much for posting this. My stupid government decided to boycott these games, so we couldn't see them on TV.

[martesol]

Simplesmente o melhor (the best)!!!

[aus1022]

This opening cernomy was the best I have seen.

See my video

[radio187]

Worst Olympics Ever

[Perizada]

Best Olympics Ever

[pakkmann]

60+ countries boycotting makes the best Olympics? Interesting.

[Perizada]

Yes The Best

You're current president should be tried for war crimes and his predecessors have been nothing but warmongers as well

[mgpoliveira]

More than 60 countries boycotted the games because they were all cock suckers of the United States.

[raydawg325]

U dumb hick it was clearly a consensus reached by all countries involved

[mgpoliveira]

It was clearly a consensus for people like you who believe in anything.

You must even believe in fairies and in Santa Claus.

[raydawg325]

yes I think it was a consensus of people like me, who have formal education. You can count the number of people on one hand who actually believe what you said. Son go fly a kite or whatever it is that you do, moron

[mgpoliveira]

This sort of discussion will always prove unfruitful.

What I can say is that the more formal your education is the more formal your thought may become, making you unable to see things from another point of view.

You, me and all common people in the world are only cattle who do not know and will never know what really happens behind what is presented to us.

[raydawg325]

What happened behind the scenes is irrelevant, what does matter is the solidarity shown by the boycotting nations helped bring the the evil empire of the Soviet Union and make the world a better place. These are facts that can't be debated, it is as sure as the world is round.

[orchote]

all things can be debated. only fools and Republicans think there are absolutes.

[JPPT1974]

In return Moscow, then East German among 12 other nations, boycotted the 1984 LA Games!

[YagoDiego]

Rather more Olympic and World records were established in Moscow 80 than in LA 84. Several European countries allowed their sportmen taking part in the Moscow Games under the Olympic Flag. Several American Protectorates and colonies were then absolutely irrelevant for the competitions´ results. As well as during the invasion of Irak, the US created the impression that many countries follow them for justifying their policies before their own people.

[farwayout]

@mgpoliveira : Must you make comments like that? Politics and sports don't mix well and the saddest part is that TOO many countries boycotted these games. Also I don't want tospeculate the 'IF'S" had the USA and allies had competed in regards to total medal count.Alas, it is time to move forward and hopefully no more political involvement in future Olympic games!!!!!

[YagoDiego]

@pakkmann In Moscow-1980 were set 36 new world records while in L.A.-1984 only 12. What a pity that the participation of American Samoa, American Virgin Islands, "Sandwich Islands" and other "friends" of the U.S. did not strengthen the sports results of the event in a significant way.

[austpers]

These performers would all be shot if they were Chinese. Being so out of synchronisation! a poor effort.

[mgpoliveira]

They could be spread everywhere on the grass while performing their number and even so it would also have been a great spectacle.

[bsdman1]

Didn't you hear about the Great Moscow Teddy Bear Massacre of 1980?

[auricalco]

NO, man please tell us a little bit more about it

[whatmighthappen]

xâk be saram! in masxare bâziyâ ciye digé???

[chikaquai]

[marcela568]

[archibalt777]

[ZAR256]

Love it so naive

[Xibee]

Wow this is a trip. It's so Soviet, but it has disco music and blonde dolls and.... it's just funny. Of course the kids were all very good! Opening ceremonies were so much more humble then.

[AdairMendoza]

2:31, I couldn't do this, jejeje

[pacave]

Con razon que los russos se han carecterizado de tener buenos gimnastas, desde pequenos que son muy diciplinados.

[alvaritoonassau]

:D I wish I could get back in time..

[TaufikEdison]

I love it!

[rafaelmexico]

Beutiful, the 1980 opening ceremony was the best.

Do you can upload the begining with the orchestra and chorus of the red army?

[northdutchman]

the boys have a typical Borat sport tunu.

[jethrosesc]

Can u pls add the parade of nations of the 1980 Olympics, pls?

[mgpoliveira]

Yes, I can. I will upload it within a few days.

[jethrosesc]

Many thanx!
