Welcome parade of competitors of all nations, then just let the games begin.
It doesn't need all this amateur theatrical brouhaha.
We don't do it very well.

I don't think anyone does it well, least of all our moronic neighbours, which is surprising as they have had lots of practice. For the ultimate in tacky, watch the half-time show at the Super Bowl.
But it seems as if each Olympics has to achieve a lower standard at twice the expense. Maybe the organizers get all their ideas from Wrestlemania.
