Helsinki 1952 were opened in four languages: French, English, Finnish and Swedish.

It was great seeing all those historic people who have opened the Olympic games.

Charles is a great guy opened the 1932 games

I like how at the end of the declaration in Chinese it sounds like "Game on!"

George W. Bush ad libbed the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics opening.

This is what i'm looking for all opening for olympic and winter olympic

Great historic video. Thank you!

So sad the 1st olympic games didn't broadcast in 1890s era

Who is here after Queen Elizabeth Ii died

Since you're going to do a second version, make sure it has the French parts from Montreal 1976, Calgary 1988 and Vancouver 2010, and of course, include the declarations from the Youth Olympic Games. P.D: also, take off the background music from Sarajevo 1984.

Most emotive declaration was Athens 2004. It has rhythm. It has spirit. The rest were pretty much BORING.

6:03 Say what you want about George W. Bush, the fact that he made the opening declaration of Salt Lake City from the spectator stands only a year after 9/11 was a pretty ballsy thing to do. Especially seeing as everyone else made the declarations either from the middle of the area or their private viewing box.

6:20. That was just thundering

That 1968 Mexico logo 😍

Standing next to Vladimir Putin at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics is his daughter Ekaterina Tikhonova. She was an incredible competitive dancer around that time, footage of which can be found on RU-vid.

A shame really, couldn’t imagine the Australians or Canadians accepting a member of the British royal family (which is also theirs) opening the games today.

Then New York Governor Franklin Roosevelt opened the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. Footage of the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid opening ceremony is available from the archives of the Paley Center for Media in New York City. That includes the opening of the games by Vice President Walter Mondale. The catalog id for the footage is B:00050.

Okay the last ending is almost actually the same as a 2008 Beijing Olympic

I Declared The Olympics In Planktonpolis, Celebrating The __th Olympiad In The Modern Era. I Declared The Olympics In Doofania, Celebrating The __th Olympiad In The Modern Era. I Declared The Olympic In Petoria, Celebrating The __th Olympiad In The Modern Era.

Fun fact: Vice President Charles Curtis was the first and only American Indian vice president of the United States.

Had no idea Helsinki's opening was done in English.

Urgh Sir William Deane opening the Sydney games... Really screwed that one up. From memory I think he then bumped the mic with his hand as he started to clap?

Reagan did the best declaration in history!

(6:48) I announce the opening of the XXIXth Beijing Olympic Games!

But I love declare opening ceremony in sochi, Russian federation, Rio, Brazil, Pyeongchang, South Korea, Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, People’s Republic Of China

That was an outstanding video of the opening of the Olympics, both Summer and Winter. I do recall President Jimmy Carter opened the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Games, but who opened the Winter Games of Squall Valley in 1960? Who was the President of Brazil prior to Michel Temer in 2016, and what caused it? Aside from those questions, great compilation! And in the words of Jodie Whittaker's departure as the 13th Doctor, with a little style: Emmanuel Macron, Paris 2024, tag, you're it! Make it Brilliant! Better stock up on some champagne!

7:27, meu Lord

06:49 Ху Цзинь Тао тогда запел что ли? 😂 Си Цзиньпин вроде просто слова произнёс 08:04

What kind of disorder when hirohito's speech problems?

Amsterdam 1928?

6:57 KAIMUU !!! （開幕）

Amazing video. Putin my favorite here. Real man!

I love his talking 😊 7:51

Never knew I would have goosebumps from French President Macron officially opening the 2024 Paris Olympics yesterday. None of these do this.

6:49 no hate at all but it kinda sounds like Hu Jintao was singing for just a bit 😂

And Nixon at Squaw Valley in 1960???

4:34 ca se voyait il était malade François MITTERRAND

エリザベス女王リオデジャネイロオリンピック

7:09

His voice made me laugh 1:28

God, the differences in voice between summer 1972 and winter '76 is the difference between Germany and Austria. One is opened by the Germano-bot and other by a mountain teddy bear.

Grande Ciampi!!!

1936👽

King Edward VII (1908)... Edward's grandson King George VI (1948)... George's son-in-law Prince Philip (1956)... Philip's wife Queen Elizabeth II (1976 *and* 2012)

1936 was kinda methed up

He has trouble talking 2:19

Suddenly realizing that we might have to watch Donald Trump struggle through a formal announcement like this in 2028

Look like pooh at 8:04

I really hate the way the speakers build to a crescendo but stupidly put the word "open" as the 3rd word, not the last word. Except the German speakers, sigh. And China? Reagan nearly fixed it. Interestingly, Donald Trump might be the only US president not to be in office during an Olympic Games. Somehow Bill Clinton had Michael Scott energy. Bush Jr brought extra energy but then pinched that candle out.

Bro You forgot 2024

Another president I really hated

이제 마크롱 차례노

Путин!!Путин!!Путин!! любим и уважаем!

O shampoo

A boss😎😎

2016 Michel Temer was so unpopular at that time that his announcement was almost hidden from the public. You can hear the boos from the audience

6:20

(5:13) "I declare open, the games of Atlanta, celebrating the XXVIth Olympiad, of the modern era."

How’s the 2nd version of this going? I’m very excited for it! This is an amazing video btw

That’s Winnie the Pooh at 8:04?

Beijing China 2008 2022

2028: Harris or Trump

Every announcement was great 👍

Esqueci que era esse demonio na presidência

Is it just me or is it that almost all declarations sounds the same? “I declare open, The (Olympic) games of (City), celebrating the (#) Olympia, of the modern era.”

Every one here for the second one

Mexico’s Olympic Games has a sad story behind and THAT specific President is by far one of the most hated people in the country.

5:31 i heats: die, u had die/gay😂

5:13

3:16 URSS SECRETARY GENERAL AND CHAIRPERSON MR. LEONID ILICH BREZHNEV RIP RESPECT..

Which vice president still alive

5:11 Folordet

"of the president of the united staaates I proclaim open the Olympic gaaames of los sangeleees celebrating the twelfth Olympiad of the modern area" is what I heard

How did brezhnev had a long speech of '80 olympics?

6:03

(1:28) 第 18 回オリンピアードを祝う東京,オリンピックの開会を宣言します。

More, uh... war criminals than I expected.

“every” yet skips Lake Placid 1980

Am I the one who thinks George W Bush is the greatest president of all?
