Very impressive. Let's see the next country to host the games top that! You can't really explain it to someone, you have to see it to realize the incredible magnatude & scale of this ceremony.
It is tough with the best events being pretty late at night (I am adjusting to the work life and 5am wake up) but it was worth staying up to watch the relay last night! Closing such a wide gap like that in 50M is a hugeee deal. Watching this stuff in HD makes it even better if you have it.
