Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Great arrangement of the Marseillaise, very innovative. And it made this old German cry a few tears. I guess the French must be particularly proud and moved now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) This feels like a bid city video c2005! (The BMX bit, not the orchestral performance) Edited August 8, 2021 by Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Oh my God, that is the cheapest projection of a flag I have ever seen. The German TV commentator says that the weather made it impossible to fly the flag from the Eiffel Tower today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanMUC Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 So the flag wasn‘t done because of strong wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olimpicgamer Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I hope future handovers are not done in this video format... I don't like it. Too easy to make it glamorous without putting live performance effort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 But the German TV commentator also said that the flag is a recording of a test event in June. That looked very artificial to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmaniS Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 So this is how they are using the Woodkid song. Did they not allow the French to come? They are using an award ceremony/party from a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I liked the handover until the end of the video. But now it looks like some boring street celebration for France's Olympians combined with a show of French national force. Or as the German commentators put it, "One can feel that President Macron is campaigning for his re-election." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Okay, London, now you are not alone anymore with your odd handover ceremony. This was... pretty cringeworthy. But I really liked the Marseillaise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatsh Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Move on Atlanta 96 handover, now Paris 2024 is the worst handover segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
