We're back for another classic Opening Ceremony review as this time we go into the Winter Olympics once again as well as the 1980s once more as we travel back to the then Yugoslavia for the 1984 Sarajevo Opening Ceremony! We try to analyse whether the coverage from ABC America skewed our opinion of this chat in a good or a bad way and try to find out just why so many countries looked sad to be at the Olympics in 1984. We also find out if we love Yugoslavian ABBA, try to work out why the President of the Presidency is a thing in 1984 and get to the bottom of Yugoslavian knitting patterns. Oh, and there's also maybe one of the most amazing cauldron lightings we've seen yet that we definitely weren't expecting. Excited yet? Pumped? Ready to go back and discover another Opening Ceremony from the past? Well get to it, listen and get yourself entertained!
