I think it’s clear this is a pretty divisive topic among GamesBidders. It seems you either love the idea or hate it. But which side has the edge? It’s not going to change the ceremony, it’s going ahead on the Seine bar events we don’t want to even think about. But if you had your druthers, and could have influenced M. Estanguet seven years ago, what would you have told him to do?
Pour moi, I’ve never made any bones about the fact I love the idea. Really looking forward to see it. For one, it might even mean I actually watch the Parade of Athletes, rather than use it to shower, go out and shop or get breakfast, and still get back in time to see Zambia and Zimbabwe march in.
