The beholder, struck by God's miracle, stopped: is it not lightning thrown from the sky?.. "Simultaneously with the teams of horses, the symbol of the Olympics will appear on one of the scenes - five multi-colored rings.

During the performance, the symbols of the main natural attractions of Russia - Chukotka, Lake Baikal, the Ural Mountains, the White Sea, etc. will appear on the arena.
The performances and performances of the introductory part will prepare the audience for the main one - the exit of the Olympians. Groups of athletes, coaches who came from different countries pass through the entire arena.
After the parade of the Olympians, the time for the main show will come. Nine churches will appear on the arena, against which performances will take place.
