The thing about this parade is that you get to see only half of the medalists. The other half face the other side of the road. Missed Ai Fukuhara, Saori Yoshida, Kohei Uchimura, etc. Wouldn't it be great if they made a U-turn and drove back so we can see the other half?

And there they go.

The parade went by in about 10 min. It was worth the wait and the hot sun. Wait till next time. Crowd will be more massive.
