  • Imagine being the one guy to beat too early... in front of millions
  • @H1ghMess
    I can't be the only one that wanted people to stop clapping and cheering early.
  • Who is here after the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony
  • @lushinya9573
    I'm from China. Since primary school, the school has been strictly disciplined, not oppressed by communism, and everyone can consciously cooperate with the instructions, so this great performance can be completed!
  • Me : try to hear the synchronized sounds Crowds : let's ruin it
  • As a Christian, I needed to come back to this beautiful opening ceremony, This is what it should be
  • @RS-km4rm
    Imagine the bathroom break at the men’s bathroom during rehearsal haha
  • Someone shut the crowd up. Starting a slow clap in the middle of a synchronized beat. Fools. 🤣
  • You also came back here after watching the French Olympic opening ceremony of 2024? 😅
  • 2008 people: playing with perfect beat Someone in the crowd: I'm gonna end this man's whole career. clap
  • As someone who used to play the drums, I hate when the audience tries to clap to the beat. They were always off an it almost messes me up.
  • Almost 16 years later, I am still as amazed at the perfection of this moment as I was on the day of the Beijing Olympic Games ceremony.
  • When I saw this on TV in 2008, I was amazed. I felt that these performers must have trained even more than Olympians. What a incredible coordination!

    Teacher: please don’t pound on the desks during class The kids in the back:
  • This is the most jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, astonishing Olympic Games opening ceremony of all so far. Of course, in my opinion and I respect those who think differently.

    Beijing had the best opening ceremony ever and one of the best Olympic Games in history. Bar none. They did an amazing job.
