What did you think of the Tokyo Paralympic opening ceremony?

The lack of comments in this article probably reflect a complete disinterest coupled with fear of the pandemic.

Nothing. Did not watch it.

But I find this picture disturbing. They decided to have olympians from paralympics sport light the cauldron, seems logical, but why are the 3 of them on wheelchair ? There are sport which do not involve wheelchair.

Then looking at the person on the right (Shunsuke Uchida), you can see that the torch is not actually adapted for him, so someone has to help. Should they not have adjusted his torch/setting so that he could do the lighting alone ?

For people wondering, the lighters are (looked over it) :

Karin Morisaki, para-powerlifter

Yui Kamiji, wheelchair tennis player

Shunsuke Uchida, boccia player

Saw bits of the ceremony. Sweet, I thought.

Liked it. The overall mood of it was positive, lovely.

I just wish they'd have the drones show up again, and also, that the little airplane-girl would've really been lifted to the air.

If you watched the whole thing and listened to the commentary, you'd know the idea/reason (including several, not just one, torches lighting up the fire) for all the parts of the show. Everything was well thought-of, I think.
