i must say.... this is one of the best and heart warming OC in the history of olympics...I find the US olympic OC very sloppy and a great waste of time and effort!!!! Russians, Greeks, Spanish and Chinese are the best!!!! They never had any cheerleader dancing like sluts during the olympics.
@nosuchpersonvideo Maybe I'm remembering the Winter Olympics. It was 1980, and that it made air, of that I'm certain. Or it was a contingency graphic, done before the ban.
That year, ABC covered the Olympics for the US market. Something either legal or technical fell through, and the studio that did all of ABC's slit-scan motion graphics (pre-computer) had to back out. My shop stepped in, with a block of 3D brass letters rotating against a sky-blue background. They were the only graphics the network had. Anyone got video of that? I'd love to see it.
@RickWolff What? NBC was supposed to air the Moscow Olympics in the USA, but when Jimmy Carter decided to go ahead with the Western boycott of these Games, NBC ended up only showing a few hours of highlights.
Can you upload the parade of nations?

Дети хором отвечают:
— В СССР!
— А в какой стране у детей самые лучшие игрушки?

oh my god i watched almost all the opening ceremonies of olympic games
and i discovered that beijing opening and closing ceremony was inspired from the previous ceremonies
this video for example shows that
the sketch at 1:14 look like the sketch of the chinese characters in 2008
and the acrobat column here similar to the one in closing ceremony in 2008
