15 Reflections of Rio Opening Ceremony

1.   International Olympic Committee: "70% of original Russian team is competing in Rio Olympics."

2.   Tweet on Team Tonga: "Moving to Tonga. Their national dress is a six pack covered in baby oil."

3.   Second Tweet: "Thanks to Tonga's flag bearer, sales of Johnson's Baby Oil has gone thru the roof!"

4.   Portugal have turned up in jeans! Did they not read the dress code on the invite? It’s bermuda shorts, khakis or nothing.

5.   Indians are unhappy because the female athletes had to wear blazers over sarees.

6.   One person who didn’t get a cheer at Opening Ceremony is Usain Bolt, he skipped the ceremony. He was busy counting how many more he will add in Rio to his collection of Olympic medals.

7.   The richest athletes in the arena: US basketball players.

8.   China’s flagbearer is huge. He isn’t a basketball player, he is in fact a fencer.

9.   The University of Georgia fans accuse Uganda of stealing the hashtag UGA. The University of Georgia goes by UGA for short. #UGA on Twitter gives the flag of Uganda, not the University of Georgia.

10.   The only country with all female athletes: Bhutan, two athletes.

11.   Country with least no. of athletes: Tuvalu (Pop: 9,876), one athlete.

12.   Youngest athlete: Gaurika Singh (13 years ), swimmer, Nepal.

13.   Oldest athlete: Mary Hanna, 61, equestrian, Australia.

14.   Arden Cho (Actress): "WOW Ning Zetao...how can people say Asian guys aren’t hot?"

15.   The theme of Beijing 2008 was China is great, London 2012’s was Britain WAS great. Rio Olympic theme? We better start doing something about the environment or we may not have many Olympics to celebrate in the future.
