Episode 438 - Nagano 1998 Opening Ceremony Review

from Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast · host Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Jarrod Loobeek

Pumped to be able to go back into the vault for our latest CLASSIC OPENING CEREMONY REVIEW as we transport you back to 1998 and review a fascinating Nagano 1998 Winter Olympics opening ceremony! Just how pumped are we to talk about sumo wrestlers and children of the corn? Why did so many winter athletes in 1998 want to look like spys from the 1950s? Do we appreciate the ceremony taking place during the day and the fact it was the last one we have ever seen not take place at night? How great is napkin man? Were we shocked to see the man who discovered Prince involved in this ceremony? Are the Japanese organisers the politest we have ever seen in any opening ceremony? How epic is the cauldron lighting? And is the Ode to Joy sequence one of the greatest ever Olympic opening ceremony moments in history? There's so much to unpack in one hell of an opening ceremony so listen in to find out more!
