Opening Ceremonies, part...5?
I'm not going to lie, the Parade of Nations is always my favourite part, because everyone is just so gosh-darned happy (well, except for Georgia). It's hard to not feel vicarious cheer. Mongolia is also in a bitchin' native costume. Oh damn, the dork dancing is back. The flag bearer is a Sherpa who has climbed Everest. Excellent. And now, Kiwis. The announcers are talking about a Norwegian athlete. He has many names, and one of them is Bjorn. This is Pakistan's first winter games as well. Lots of first-timers. The white dancers are wearing very cute boots, I will give them that. Romania. Sorry Romania, if you're not a gymnast I'm not interested. And here's the Ruskies. Ooh, doping scandal! One of the white dancers had decided to bring the funk. Dude, you can't carry the whole thing.
