The official Olympic song is always a power ballad. Usually sung by a pop star in a futuristic dress.
Expect a Chinese singer. They hit notes you can’t reach. The melody will be stuck in your head for a week.
They also play the Olympic Anthem. It is slow and dignified. Get ready to stand up in your living room. No one is watching.
Weather is a Drama
The ceremony happens in February. It is freezing in Beijing. Temperatures can drop to -10°C.
The athletes wear thick coats. Some shiver during the parade. It is hilarious and relatable.
The show must go on. They use special fog machines that don’t freeze. The fireworks are real. They look like giant sparklers in the ice.
