Olympic Opening Show
I did not notice any creatures, or hear any mention of, anything in relation to the mythologies created by Tolkien. During the early part of the show there was much use of figures found in fantasty British literature, and I thought the absence of Tolkien characters conspicuous.
Would anyone care to speculate on why this happened?
