I think it’s Dutch tv

What is the repeated marks on the grey floor? It looks unfinished, like a warehouse.
I thought quite a few looked really sunburnt!
I think it’s marks for where everyone is to stand
1) how do they decide which country comes out? Because I thought it was alphabetical but it started with Iceland?
2) the athletes that have already gone through the procession sitting on the floor and hunched over their phones looks so messy and quite rude?

I wish the awful commentators would shut the duck up. I want to listen to the videogame music playing, they're ruining it.
They are using the Japanese alphabet this time.
They're using the Japanese alphabet apparently, hence the seemingly messy order for us
I think they should have gone the unconventional way and had the athletes walk out first and then do the whole procession so it at least looked like there was a crowd there and seemed a bit more natural
I'm honestly completely on board with not having a crowd but it's weird to not hear cheering/clapping
Also, not sure if anyone was paying much attention but I noticed the volunteers bowed to SK athletes instead of waving, I wonder if it was intentional or if I just missed the waving
Imagine being one of the teams stuck round the back of the stadium waiting to come in. About 90 more countries to go...the final 3 are USA, France and Japan.
Waiting for team USA to be really obnoxious
They tend to bow as a greeting in Japan. I’ve been half watching while working so could’ve totally missed the context!
I'm pretty sure there are more interesting facts than a country being formerly part of Soviet Union 
I was at the rehearsal 2 days before it happened and it was honestly one of those moments I’ll remember forever
Did anything happen after the countries were walking in? Went and had a nap.
They moved some boxes around and made patterns, loads of drones made some patterns, there was an ‘imagine’ montage
Highlights:
1. Flame lighting, always poignant
2. Globe drone
3. Pictograms thing was cool, shame s/he dropped their badminton racket. Hope they don't feel too bad about it, it was otherwise very well executed.

Also liked the piano part with the Japanese superhero
I hope it all goes well for Japan and the athletes so they closing ceremony can be a bit more of a celebration. Though, I fully expect it to go tits up and for the closing event to be another toned down ceremony
I also wonder what their plans are for athletes who need to isolate? It seems awful to come to the Olympics, be told to send-isolate and then miss your competition

Looking forward to watching the opening ceremony with tea later!
Working tomorrow but I'm off Monday so I'm very tempted to stay up and see how the mens triathalon goes.
Does anyone have a comprehensive guide of where to watch what? I'm keen to watch the equestrian days, anything running (not race walking, duck race walking), gymnastics, diving, skate boarding, rowing, rugby... basically anything that's not a ball sport (except rugby) and anything that's not dull (mens road cycling isn't my kind of thing. The track cycling however!)

Here’s the equestrian times.

The main Olympic event for me is always women’s gymnastics, can’t wait
