It is okay for France to loot African/South American countries for centuries. But having some migrants is bad image for them that they have to hide them???

South Korea did the same in 1988 Olympics. Poor South Koreans were driven away from the city, many disappeared forever. 

 

If India does something like this or involves a mandir in lighting the torch, imagine the outrage.

Hijab ban for French athletes this Olympics. Interesting. 

[Gollum]

Can all athletes fit in those boats? USA, China, GBR may have 500+ strong contingent. 

[Gollum]

Ghatiya ceremony. Beijing still the gold standard, 2012 London not far behind. 

[putrevus]

How the heck Snoop Dogg became the torch bearer.Is there a bigger insult than this to all olympians.

French still i consider much better. As well as Portugal. Any citizens of countries where France or Portugal ruled becomes automatic citizens of France. Like many goanese have portuguese passport and algerians born before 1960 has french passport. UK should have given dual british citizenship to 30 crore indians after independence. So all our grandparents would have been british citizens. They looted us 300 years. Famine of bengal killed 5 million. Churchill decided to move food grains to their soldiers. Indians paid tax which went to british exchequer.

China and Caneda just arrived in 1 boat. 

[Vickydev]

The idea i thought was nice to bring them on boats but boy have they botched it with how they have placed some teams together. Doesnt give the the countries and their athletes the stage

[bharathh]

Boring opening ceremony. I like the newness of the river thing - but can't match what you can do in a stadium.
