About five minutes to go. Thank goodness for live streaming at work!

The Russian Military Choir singing "Get Lucky" in the pre-show. I didn't expect that.

I can't believe ...
A: I saw that
B: coverage deprived us of seeing very much of it
That was hilarious.

It's great that CBC is streaming this in such high quality, but it would be nice to be able to re-size the video player. Also, is there any way to get rid of the "First message will be displayed..." crap on the side of the screen?
EDIT: Okay, answered the second question. Click on the video and it goes away.

During commercials on telus u can watch live shots of the venue with the crew talking shop with each other. MacLean noted how erie it is with virtually no people outside and lots of empty seats. Fascinating stuff to listen to them chat it up

I wonder if they will show the systemic starvation of millions of Ukrainians?

Some of it is probably for the athletes.

Because tickets to the opening ceremony were $2500 a piece. I was trying to go to the Olympics this year but ticket prices were so far above reasonable that I couldn't justify going to any event.
