I got somewhat swept up in the incredible atmosphere here, but it was very enjoyable. Very enjoyable indeed.
Susi Susanti lights the cauldron, and with this the torch completes its journey! The torch that has been brought from India and across Indonesia, has finally been placed in the cauldron! What a spectacular welcome! #OpeningCeremonyAsianGames2018 #OpeningAG2018 #AsianGames2018 pic.twitter.com/aPcXNEd7fj— Asian Games 2018 (@asiangames2018) August 18, 2018
That's about it for us tonight from Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta. It's been a hugely successful start to the Games. Lets hope for more of the same over the next two week. And some gold for Hong Kong.
We're off for some rest before the action gets underway tomorrow.

The ethereal voice of Putri Ayu creates an audible hush amongst the crowd. Goosebumps all over!#OpeningCeremonyAsianGames2018 #OpeningAG2018 #AsianGames2018 pic.twitter.com/Rwxb1m2Tm5— Asian Games 2018 (@asiangames2018) August 18, 2018
