Riccione video shares delights of WMA Open Ceremonies

You gotta see this! A file-sharing site called blip.tv has posted a well-edited video of athletes and speeches (all in Italian), marching band and music at Riccione worlds. And fireworks, circus peformers and dance troupes! Athletes are having a blast — singing and dancing. Click right here to access this 8 1/2-minute video. As well, old reliable Toronto masters official and photographer Douglas J. Smith has already posted two albums of his images from worlds. What a great way to feel the joy!


Here’s how the riccione.tv video is described:

Representatives from competing nations meet in Via Dante (Palazzo turismo) 8.30 p.m Parade begins accompanied by San Giovanni in Marignano town band 9.15 p.m Parade ends, Italian and WMA flag-raising ceremony swearing -in ceremony performed by one athlete and one judge Speeches, championship declared officially open 9.45 p.m Opening spectacle featuring dance, artistic gymnastic and music from all five continents 10.15 p.m firework display over the sea –

Riccione’s TV site also has some webcams, apparently focused on local landmarks and showing currents conditions.
