Olympic Opening Ceremonies

[robinbloke]

I've been pondering what the Olympic opening ceremony should be after madwitch posted about the opening ceremony.

Currently my best suggestion is that Brian Blessed, dressed as prince Vultan swoops down from a blimp wearing a wingsuit screaming "DIIIIIIIIIIVEEEE" snatches Excalibur from the hand of a glowing woman standing in a pond and zooms over to light the Olympic torch with it as it fzzzzt's a-la-lightsabre.

At that point everything should explode.

Any better suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the range of anti-aircraft missiles is not that far.

I think it's more than some of them can count up to, and their grasp of geography may not be up to the measurement either.
