The opening ceremony on Saturday evening was more interesting than usual. There were two particular highlights. First was the five-minute taste of the movie about bridge presented by Jeremy Goldstein and David McAllister. It left everyone longing to see all 90 minutes, which should be ready by the fall.
Second was the performance of “We Are The World” by about 30 of the Chinese youth players, all dressed in attractive blue and white attire. As Gainarrigo Rona said, they won the first gold medal of the games. WBF photo albums: Click Here and Click Here
