Voided
Fascinating or not, this will not be settleable
Background:
Will a spontaneous crowd wave, circulating at least once around the stadium occur during Opening or Closing ceremonies of the Olympics this summer?
I find it fascinating that China has gone to the trouble of creating/sanctioning an official four part cheer, virtually every other society celebrates their athletes in a spontaneous, exhuberant way, just look at the crowds at Eurocup 2008 for a contrast.

What do you guys think? Will the euphoria of the event induce a wave or will the climate of a carefully managed environment stifle such an "outburst"?
