My favorite part of any Olympics opening is the Parade of Nations. To me, it is exciting to hear each nation announced and interesting to see who carries each country's flag and to hear a bit of the personal bio about that flagbearer. And, who didn't think that the Great One would light the Olympic flame? Couldn't agree more about the refreshing simplicity of the opening ceremony. It was a pleasure to see the athletes be the focus and the beauty & wonders of Canada celebrated. Unfortunately, this understated and somewhat restrained presentation became all the more appropriate due to the horrible tragedy of the death of the young luger from Georgia.
