Where were our gymnasts and Michael Phelps? I didn't seen any Russian gymnasts, either.

As far as the ceremony, it was good but I have seen better. The models on the catwalk weren't necessary, imo. The skating nuns were cute!

I thought I saw US gymnast Kayla Ross among the athletes. I did get 'tired' of the cameras showing the athletes clutching their medals in mugging for the cameras. I would've preferred more of just watching the athletes enjoy the concert.

The closing ceremony is always a lot looser than the opening ceremonies - it's more a party for the athletes vs a showplace for the host country.

The UK has produced lots of good music - so, I enjoyed the concert. I actually thought it was kinda funny that several of the athletes weren't even alive when the acts had their hits. The younger athletes were borin in the 1990's and I recall a lot of music being from the 80's since I listened to much of it during my college years. Of course, some acts are too iconic to not know....
