Did anyone else watch it? I caught the last 45 minutes or so of it and am kicking myself for not watching more. The flame lighting ceremony was spectacular. In case you missed it, here it is.

absolutely stunning.
I missed the drums earlier in the ceremony, but watched the rest.
I never usually watch the Olympics or the opening ceremonies.

I would say the first 45 minutes is the best : )

That was pretty cool how they incorporated the relay around the world into the carpet that was unrolling on the screen.
And I think the US has the most athletes. 650 some? out of 303million. And China, out of 1.3 Billion only has 623ish. xD
