That torch lighting was so cool, I had to watch it twice. This is the best thing about living in Detroit.. the CBC on Channel 9 and then NBC on our local channel 4. The Canadian channel was showing the opening ceremonies an hour prior to NBC. So, I watched it all in Canadian (even though the announcer didn't know how to pronounce Susan Sarandon) and then watched the last hour AGAIN on NBC
I liked the women presenting the Olympic flag. Those were some incredible role models involved in that. I think it's incredible to see some countries who sent one person to compete, like Grandma Luge. How amazing for that person to represent their country???
