I just noticed that the user rockies77 has closed his account and effectively erased all the Lillehammer opening and closing ceremony videos he had previously uploaded. What a pity! Anyone who has them stored somewhere? I especially loved the last section of the closing ceremony, the wonderful touching choral piece with the white clad trolls and also the Nagano 1998 presentation with that Japanese ice queen and the lovely folk music. I want to have them!!

@aatox I have uploaded the entire opening ceremony to my account =)

@aceflex Wow, that's great! And in such good quality too. Thanks! How come you're allowed to upload the entire broadcast without splitting it up in 10 min long sections? Do you by any chance have the closing ceremony too? That would be awesome! :)

@aatox It's because I verified my youtube account with my cellphone number. I'm sorry, but I do not have the closing ceremony. I have a two hour long videotape with a recap of every day made by NRK though, if you want me to upload that? =) But I have to warn you, it is in norwegian.

@aceflex Ah, I see! Didn't know that about the cellphone verification! And please do upload that broadcast, sounds interesting indeed. Language is not any problem, jag är ju från Sverige! :)

What country was this? Norway?

Lillehammer was the BEST winter olympics in my opinion. I hope Norway will host again soon.

@Kalinho83 I did have a 52" screen. It was one of those projection tv's and this show the 94 Olympics were great on it. Flying over the snow covered mountains felt IMAX[y] and the camera pans with the speed skaters felt like you were right there with them. Of course back then we didn't have HDTV. I would love to experience that today on an HD system. I'd record it. I may even have some of the 94 olympic games on tape somewhere. Hopefully I didn't record over them.

@palmtrees89 You had a 52" inch in 94?

@Fmaack I remember the Lillihammer games so well too. It was showing on tv at the time I bought my FIRST big screen tv. I got to see the games in full 52" screen glory. .and I tell ya. . .it was like an IMAX experience. Flying over the glacier mountains of Norway to the brilliant colors of the Olympic games was a real treat even for those who couldn't actually make it to the games. And the culture of downtown Lillihammer looked great. Remind me of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. lol

@Fmaack So do I. I would think we could arrange a spectacuar show, because we have so many good factors to play on :)
