it seems to be more about Paris and Paris culture, rather that celebrating the Athletes

So was London's

Okay well it's not me then....thought I was having a stroke.

North Korea. I'm sure State TV will show them winning every gold.

Lets be honest, seen a fair few comments about London which makes sense, but can any of you remember anything of the Tokyo or Rio opening ceremony's? Probably not

I do remember some of the Tokyo one, especially the synchronised drummers, was epic. Otherwise not much lol

They normally bang out a few medals in the weightlifting, depends on how the 'training' programmes have been going this year

Aw man, if you ever get the chance to see a Japanese drum troupe live DO IT. They're amazing.

Lol...just looking it's like some of it looks AI generated. Then glimpses of the fastion walk thing etc. What the hell is going on? I only turned on have I missed the actual display bit?

It's that or the catwalk at the moment :cry:

Psycho Ned · 26 Jul 2024 at 20:38

Those catwalk models are questioning their decision to sign up for this right now on about their 5th lap of a waterlogged catwalk looking like they've gone through a car wash :cry:

It was cool at start but got boring rather fast once you seen 100

Would have been wonderfully ironic if a RIB full of lads with AKs had rocked up and robbed the Somalian boat.

Mr Jack · 26 Jul 2024 at 20:39

France closed airspace for 80 nautical miles around Notre Dame!

It's always thus though. The parade is dull by necessity. This way of doing it at least mixes it with other stuff.

There running out of boats going to be coming on a dinghy next

Be funny to see an over packed one try to make it into the country.

They're all in Calais, few nice blokes down there probably could have sold them one for cheap.

Wonder what day of the games it will be this year for the traditional African athlete bolting and trying to claim asylum somewhere!
