The cultures at the rio opening ceremony was fantastic because they all came out in their traditional clothes while playing their traditional music. Everyone was excited and happy about the rio olympics it was vibrant loud and amazing.

The rio opening ceremony happened on the 5th of august it was amazing cause we got to see different cultures come out and dance to their music and wave their flags.

For example New Zealand came out wearing maori traditional clothes which was an fantastic idea.

The rio opening ceremony was probably the best moment out of the rio olympics in my opinion because people came out wearing their traditional clothes and music and it was fantastic it was loud vibrant and amazing

The Rio Olympics ceremony was a vibrant and outstanding event. It displayed all the country that participated with this sport. The music and fireworks was huge and gained worldwide attention. I particularly love the New Zealand because of the national Anthems and it's also part of my culture. I believe that New Zealand is gonna win some Olympics events and win the Gold medals to bring back to New Zealand.

S :
The opening ceremony in Rio was beautiful and unique, with lots of fireworks and spectators.
E:

The opening ceremony in Rio is a ceremony that only happens once every four years, all in different places. This happened at 8PM Brazil time. In the ceremony, there were athletes from all around the world, gathered in one place. Representing their country with all their flags, dresses and dance moves to show off what they’re capable of.
X:
An example of this is China. They were dressed up in their traditional clothing in the Olympic ceremony while dancing. Every country has this in common, all wearing their traditional and cultural clothes in the Olympic ceremony. This is diversity.
Y:
In my opinion, this  was a great opening ceremony. With all the spectators and the athletes, just waiting to either watch or compete.

The opening ceremony was full of vibrant colour showing Brazil’s Cultural background and history. The show had shown everyone Brazil’s history and how it Brazil was made to be the country we see today. The show featured the point in time when the Europeans came, sailing the seas they found Brazil, destroying their forests . The cultural  history of Brazil was amazing too learn about and I am very glad they showed this in the Olympics.

IF you were watching the Rio Olympics opening ceremony in Australia, or any other English-speaking country, you may have been scratching your head and asking this question: Why did the teams come out in the wrong order?

Answer: It wasn't the 'wrong' order - they came out in alphabetical order according to the native language of Brazil, using Portuguese names/spelling to determine who went where in the 207-team line-up. International Olympic Committee rules require that the opening ceremony's official language is that of the host country.

There were a few special exceptions. Greece always marches first, as the country that founded the Olympics. Brazil went last as the host nation, while the Refugee Olympic Team went second-last, by the decision of Brazil's Games organisers.

Barring that, the list had some noticeable differences to what English audiences might have expected, had they not been aware of Brazil's right to order the teams by Portuguese.

South Africa (África do Sul) and Germany (Alemanha) were placed in the top five, while the United States (Estados Unidos da América) were much higher in the list than by English, coming in 70th.

Australia was 15th, though any unawares watchers might have been bemused by the earlier marches of the Independent Olympic Athletes and Saudi Arabia.

The issue reportedly caused some tension in America, where 40 million people watched the London 2012 opening ceremony.

The New York Timesreported that official US broadcaster "NBC has had discussions with the International Olympic Committee hoping to alter the closely watched Parade of Nations so that United States athletes would appear late in the ceremony. According to the network's proposal, if they were to enter later, viewers would remain tuned in for a program of several hours."

NBC had reason to be bullish with the IOC. From the Washington Post: "In 2011, NBC won the right to broadcast all of the Olympic Games from 2014 through 2020 at a cost of $4.38 billion. This year's Rio Olympics alone will cost the network $1.23 billion. Three years later, the network re-upped with the International Olympic Committee through 2032 for the eye-popping amount of $7.65 billion."

However, NBC's request to have the US march later was knocked back. The network denied the specific charge that it wanted "English spelling" used.

As it turned out, the USA was wedged between Micronesia and Estonia. Some viewers weren't happy with the treatment of the Micronesian team by broadcasters:
