That would still be a better opening ceremony than the one in Rio!!

I just hope Godzilla stays dormant

Other than one American swimmer costing himself millions in otherwise-guaranteed endorsements, USA fared pretty well as a country. The real winner was Brazil - overcoming a terrible preconception to make it all look good - though the cost (13 billion $$$ or so) will probably never be recouped.

As bad as conditions may or may not have been in Rio, I doubt any of the athletes wish they hadn't been there. There were some memorable moments..
