venuedesignlover Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 What was the theme music playing as the children were coming out into the Seine and Bach and Macron were introduced? Is it an interpretation of “I will Survive”? Quote
zigzag Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Oooh so some countries will share a boat apparently Quote

It is divided into several blocks, and between these blocks, pieces of spectacle. Thanks for the heads up, was wondering what was happening! Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 A few boats in already clear this was a terrible idea. Athletes being denied their moment and it looks awful on TV. Quote
Bear Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 god damn it telemundo is already going into ad breaks Quote

kevzz Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The squirting fountain as the backdrop for athletes is horrible. And also the camera shot is too far away you can’t really see the athletes properly Quote

Olympian2004 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 2 minutes ago, Olympic Fan Darcy said: Oh they've even combined a bunch of countries on the same boat. Not many South Africans. Even Germany looks small... I doubt that that was the entire German team. Due to the short distance to Germany, I suppose that quite a lot of athletes will arrive in Paris only during the course of the Games, especially if their events are rather late during the Games. And I read that the athletes had to be available for eight hours in order to take part in the ceremony. That is way too long for athletes who have their competition in the next few days. Oh, and now the theme song from "La Boum" as music in the background! Lovely! Millions of European teenagers grew up with this music. I don't know whether "La Boum" was a big movie on other continents. Quote

sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well, I admit that I'm starting to get impatient for the first artistic part. Maybe they should have started with a bit of a show? Quote
Sir Rols Posted July 26 Author Report Posted July 26 No Australia? We must be coming towards the end before USA and France then Quote
kevzz Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Some countries you don’t even see the flag bearer as they are blocked by the blue flag or behind the crowd Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The athletes are clearly hating this. Most look miserable compared to the reaction we see when they enter the Olympic Stadium. Flagbearees lost amongst it and now they've cut to Lady Gaga. Quote
