\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide has-medium-font-size\">We kozen ervoor om de slogan &#8220;Warmste Special Olympics ooit&#8221; als rode draad doorheen de hele show te gebruiken. Daarom werd onze line-up en keuze van entertainment gebaseerd op artiesten die altijd al hun publiek hebben weten te raken. Inclusiviteit in de show en tijdens het evenement was steeds een essentieel doel. Een grote thermometer gaf tijdens de show aan hoe warm het in het stadion was op dat moment. 13 000 toeschouwers in het stadion en de kijkers op Play Sports konden live de Openingsceremonie volgen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide has-medium-font-size\">Vanaf de deuren opengingen, werd het publiek warm gemaakt met beats van Radio Botanique en DJ Goosebeats, terwijl vliegende reporters Bart Cannaerts en Gaetan Bartosz interviews afnamen met atleten en publiek. Hosts van de avond waren Christophe Stienlet en Salima Belabbas die ook de 22 disciplines en hun atleten aankondigden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-wide has-medium-font-size\">Na de offici\u00eble opening van de Spelen door Prins Laurent, droegen we het Mechels stadion letterlijk over aan de Special Olympics door de grootste tifo van Belgi\u00eb over het volledige plein te trekken. Ondertussen klonk \u2018You\u2019ll never walk alone\u2019 door de boxen, overgaand in \u2018Laat ons een bloem\u2019 en \u2018Dit is wat mijn mama zei\u2019, gebracht door G\u00fcnther Neefs en Metejoor. Liefde voor muziek fans herkenden zeker de chemie tussen beide artiesten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
