Switzerland tunnel: The oddest moments of the opening ceremony

From the World Cup to the Olympics, it is not a significant event if you don't have an unusual opening ceremony to go with it.

Not only partial nudity, but milk floats, lots of people in their underwear, and actors playing ibex having sex:


"It is unclear what the German, French and Italian leaders, who were all present, made of the ceremony"


"At one point, there were lots of people rolling around in white underwear"


"One Twitter user wrote: "We're opening a tunnel, and here are two people dressed as ibex pretending to have sex""
