We’re into another classic OPENING CEREMONY REVIEW as we track back to 2006 and the last time Italy hosted an Olympics, giving us a taste of what we might see again in Milano Cortina 2026. We take a fine-tooth comb to everything this Torino Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony had to offer — from flaming speed skaters and Pavarotti, to Ferrari F1 cars doing doughnuts and an Italian President who somehow managed a dirty mouth and a cold head. There’s even some Italian BDSM, a very sparky flame lighting, and the birth of an Opening Ceremony tradition we still can’t handle. It’s bold, bizarre and oh-so-Torino — and one you won’t want to miss!
