Cynicalint

but most of all, the apparent Nazi salute rendered repeatedly by the German minister welcoming the German team. I did replay to check I had not been mistaken and, even though it was left handed, it was unmistakeable
The poor man ( now named as Mr. Troger) is reported as absolutely devastated at the interpretation of his wave.

In 1972, Mr Tröger offered to exchange himself for Israeli hostages while serving as mayor of the Olympic Village during the Munich Games.
Personally, I loved every bit of the opening. Let's hope for a safe Olympics for all.
