The Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics is fast approaching!

After Beijing 2022 what can we expect from Paris?

 

And so it approaches. Possibly one of the most hotly anticipated opening ceremonies ever. It’s sparked reactions ever since it was announced it would ignore the Stade de France and take place in the heart of the city on the Seine. People already either love the idea or hate it with a passion.

One thing’s certain - it will be different. Now that the moment of truth has arrived, will this be France’s greatest triumph since Austerlitz? Or will it sink like the French fleet off Trafalgar?

Stock up on your popcorn (or croissants) and strap in for the festivities. Welcome to all the newbies here and welcome back to all the old friends and members.

Le jour de gloire est arrivé!

A parade down the Siene for the athletes. As for Australia, it’ll be a long wait for us as we will March just before the United States and France at the tail end 

Isn‘t that just the next host, not the next two (if known)? Did the US come in just before France and Japan in Tokyo?

rols, as a Moderator, you’re trolling Gamesbids members?  Starting a thread to literally troll another member of Gamesbids?

What sort of example are you setting as a Moderator?

Shouldn't "Australie" be among the first few?

Nope.  As mentioned above, unless things change again in 2024.  The upcoming hosts are now arrayed in reverse order just before the host delegation.  So, passing before the Tribunal (as they call it) will be Australia, Les Etats Unis, and then the home team, France.  So THIS STUPID Ceremonies mash-up by Estanguet will actually be hardest on France and the USA teams.  F*CK Estanguet.  I hope he gets a nervous breakdown or something before 2024.

In the parade of nations for 2024 it will be based on the French language, so no. They have to do the french language for these games

For the record, being a Moderator is not something I would ever want to do ever, now or in the future

In the meantime, you continue to set a poor example as a Gamesbids Forums Moderator and representative of Gamesbids.com and shred your reputation.

Really??? You seem to be doing your darndest to audition for the role… though you “interventions” don’t seem to go over too well.

For the record, my role of mod extends almost exclusively to rooting out spam postings. I’ve never wanted to take any more activist role so as not to conflict ewith my ability to participate in debates.

I’m comfortable with my reputation. Last time I looked, at the leaderboards, it appeared pretty solid.

Oh, I thought that was a one-off for Tokyo to get the US (aka NBC) a better spot than it would've had in Japanese order.

Still gonna be, but they changed the protocol recently to make the next hosts march just before the host nation. Example: US and then France marching just before Japan in Tokyo 2020

Please stay on topic! This thread is about the Paris 2024 Opening live chat! And NOT about trolls, setting examples or Rol’s reputation on GB’s! Thank you!! :)

Lmfao, TES does look like he’s starting to look pretty ragged lately. I think it’s all starting to catch up with him, I’m afraid.

Just defending the members on which Rols has attacked. Terrible behaviour by him as a moderator.

Paris 2024 is 2.5 years away.  This ridiculous thread Paris Opening Ceremony Live Chat 2024 deliberately and started by Rols to mock another member with his opening comments.   As I said, a terrible example by a Moderator to set.  I used to respect Rols, but not anymore.

Np.  But original country Hellas still comes in at the start -- and HOST France at the end.  DO you think Nippon and Chine were in their proper Japanese and Chinese positions in the Parade?  REGARDLESS of the language, the honorary position of Greece/Hellas and hosts and would-be hosts DO NOT follow the order of the language used.

This is why Gamesbids Forums needs an “Posting and Commenting Policy”  or a “Blog Commenting Polcy” as a guide and standard that moderators must also follow as well as members.
