They saw the parade of athletes from the participating countries and the hoisting of flags by Belarusian Olympic champions, looked at innovative technologies and unusual artistic solutions.
The sporting event was accompanied by mass choreographic performances from each of the 23 countries and original musical compositions that set the tone for the entire celebration. I was amazed by the quantity and quality of lighting equipment and other equipment.
