It was a very dignified opening ceremony.
Good to hear that Cyprus was able to carry its flag with pride. I don't see how the 'trnc' flag would be on display as it isn’t a member of the Olympic committee. And Turkey dare not jeopardise its already precarious Olympic bid.
This stage-managing of what they show on TV despite what happened behind the scenes (as you reported, Erdogan-supporting audience) surely can't fool the IOC? How are they going to manipulate something the size of the Olympics in this same way? They are going to destroy the games for good!
