The 1988 Winter Olympics from Calgary as broadcast by ABC. Note that some clips may cut off in the middle but of a performance, but it will be continued in the next clip.
Beautiful to see this again...Vancouver will do a good job. Quebec City would have been a more logical choice (more snow, facilities on both sides of the country), but they know how to stage an event. Enjoy!
@international153 Another good one was in Los Angeles in 1984. The choir was even dressed casually with visors!

THIS IS THE BEST OLYMPIC HYMN PERFORMANCE!! Full of spirit, not that Vancouver 2010 sung by Measha which was spiritless (opera singing and too slow)

Um... don't hold your breath. The Olympics have gotten so big that, realistically, no city will ever get them twice again.

Vancouver is the best one Canada has ever had. That is the best Olympics opening ceremony I can remember.
My favorite part is the Olympic Hymn, as it was the most stirring rendition I have ever heard.
