The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread

My only problem with NBC was their removal of the Brits tribute to those killed recently in a terrorist act. Shows very little class.

NBC coverage: Outrage by claiming 7/7 tribute in Olympic Opening Ceremony 'wasn't tailored to U.S. audience' | Mail Online

Better? Depends on what aspect you are judging it by. The reason I liked London's opening ceremonies so much is because they paid tribute to their history, their cultural, and to their politics. I don't recall seeing China give a nod to communism or to their health care like the Brits did. Visually? I think the Chinese put on a performance that has blown away any other Olympic opening ceremonies I've seen. My favorite part was probably the drummers, which was awe inspiring to say the least.
