It was as flashy and impressive as fireworks and dancing, the same as every other opening ceremony ever has been.
It just takes place in a different stadium every 4 years.
776 BC in Olympia, Greece - fireworks and dancing.
2008 AD in Bejing, China - fireworks and dancing.
4500 AD in Alpha City 6, Mimas, Saturn - fireworks and dancing.
