"The extended dance piece started with Impacciatore on her couch watching the Games. She was then kidnapped by the Olympics' " first openly Gen-Z" mascots, Milo and Tina. Why are they "openly" Gen Z? Why do the mascots have an age to begin with? This was only the start of the incomprehensibility of this segment. From there, Impacciatore flew through Winter Olympics of years past, in what looked like shoddy AI, as if inspired by that one Kim Kardashian cell-phone game ( RIP)."
"Impacciatore came to life and appeared onstage IRL, only to be menaced and danced at by Winter Olympians from every decade. The '70s segment used Adriano Celentano's masterpiece "Prisencolinensinainciusol" as its backing track. The song is what Celentano thought American English sounded like and was inspired by the Tower of Babel story from the Bible. The '80s section used a Giorgio Moroder-sounding oontza-oontza score, with neon-clad skiers breakdancing and saving the community center à la South Park. All the while, Impacciatore continued dancing her spandex-clad tush off."
Sabrina Impacciatore began the opening ceremony segment on her couch watching the Games and was kidnapped by the Olympics' " first openly Gen-Z" mascots, Milo and Tina. Impacciatore then traveled through past Winter Olympics in a sequence of era-themed dance vignettes featuring intentionally kitschy visuals and apparent shoddy AI effects. She materialized onstage and was confronted and danced around by Winter Olympians representing each decade. The '70s vignette used Adriano Celentano's "Prisencolinensinainciusol." The '80s vignette deployed a Giorgio Moroder–style oontza-oontza score with neon-clad skiers breakdancing and saving a community center à la South Park. Impacciatore danced energetically in spandex throughout.
