I thought this was a very underwhelming opening ceremony ruined by the constant budget changes and cuts. I expected more life energy but instead I got a mix of Brazilian spirit and militaristic punctuality. The shining moments however were the intro, the idea with seeds and the samba medley; the rest was a bit messy... not to mention the volunteers with what seemed to be trash bags pointing the direction for the delegations. But by far the best moment was the Tongan flag bearer and some costumes like Indonesian, Turkmen and Sudan I think... absolutely gorgeous. Also European costumes sucked big time... idk what happened with Swedish and Norwegian design but it sucked, also Swiss sneakers were abysmal. The flame and the finish was amazing, I loved that optic illusion mobile that symbolises sun. Overall great job Brazil, but it could've been much better... it is still one of the weakest opening ceremonies I can remember. 
1 for us is seeing Venus out in the first round of the tennis, but we still have Serena. Super looking forward to seeing us maybe make a breakthrough in fencing, a fun sport to watch but one that we occasionally have difficulties in.
