Since the Olympics is on, here are my favourite Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in no random order. Ready? Get set, go!

1. Beijing 2008

I have to agree with many people, and I have to say that the Beijing Opening Ceremony is one of the most spectacular events in Olympic history!

2. Rio 2016

Although I watched it last night, it has a great introduction to Brazilian music. However, it could not beat with the Chinese 8 years ago. In particularly, artistic presentation and all that. But, good job Brazil!

3. Moscow 1980

Despite that some countries did not participate due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the presentation was amazing. Especially the Friendship of the People, great introduction to different ethnic groups prior to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

4. London 2012

This is one of my favourites tied with Beijing, it showed a great history of the Industrial Revolution. As well as British pop music while the athlete marched in!

Yesterday I heard that the people who put the Olympics together were trying to stop Women's hockey from being in the Winter Olympics. I am a huge fan of hockey and a player myself (woman player), and I for one think that it is wrong to do that.

It is said that they are making the sport unofficial because there isn't enough competition. Just because Canada won 18-0 and 10-1, doesn't necessarily mean that there is no competition, but that maybe we are just a good team, or the teams we faced weren't as good as us.

Every sport should have a men's and women's team. I have always dreamed of going into...
