Closing Ceremony & Olympic Inspiration

[Mat]

Yeah right, it's good that they hired me to do this gig, cause you need a bit of hip hop to balance out all this sport right?

Ho ho I bet all these africans can't believe their luck, but the sad news is they all have to go home now... not many people think about that and that's a real shame, which is why I'm mentioning it now....to make people aware of the tragedy... *rolls eyes from side to side*

Was expecting drums

Please tell me they're not gonna do this for all the medallists.

Have you watched any of it? These guys haven't had their presentation yet, so they are putting it here.

It's Olympic tradition that the men's marathon is the final event, and the medallists are often honoured at the closing ceremony.

Ah, did they not have a ceremony yet for marathon?

Please tell me they're not gonna do this for all the medallists.

Sure I've seen this guy at other medal ceremonies

It's Olympic tradition, that the Men's Marathon medal ceremony is done at the closing ceremony

Looks like the Kony 2012 campaign has done it's job .

 

[ShaolinDreams]

Imagine if Britain won that Marathon gold

 

[Doohickey]

The Men's Marathon presentation is always at the closing ceremony.

Ah, this I did not know

 

[Mat]

A British marathon winner would have been an epic medal ceremony.

 

[mp3duck]

Imagine if Britain won that Marathon gold

Rio, with Mo! Might happen!

 

[fozzybear]

Haha. The Uganda marathon winner thought his National Anthem was over after the first 10 seconds.

 

[LewisStuart]

Got the tetris tune in my head now.

 

[rotters]

Crazy that he got gold on his 5th marathon ever!

 

[NZB]

Feel a bit silly now, watched all closing ceremonies in 30ish years bar one and have never noticed that tradition. Probably just haven't paid as much attention as i have with this one in the past.

 

[mp3duck]

Spot the rich guys with the freebies in the best seats! The ones with the tickets around their necks! Saw loads of them when I was there the other day! All having hospitality from once of the sponsors!

 

[Ahleckz]

What was Teal'c doing there?

 

[Vonhelmet]

A British marathon winner would have been a chuffing miracle.

 

[Feek]

Sultry, hello

 

[Skeeter]

I think they should give each of the volunteers a gold medal!

 

[Bucket]

Everyone excited for Paul McCartney to sing Imagine then?

 

[ShaolinDreams]

They did a great job
