Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 This lady doesn't know where to move, she looks scared she's going to slip. She's so still. Quote
Faster Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Just realized Stromae would have been a good musical choice. One of the best selling French speaking artists. Belgian. But truly wonderful. Quote
Rob2012 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 We're allowed in the Louvre with a naked flame now are we? Quote

zigzag Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Damn, that's a lot of artistic segments while the parade only reaches the Cs so far! Quote

But truly wonderful. I've been waiting for Stromae. Looked him up and yes not French himself but one of the best known French speaking artists. Surely we here Alors On Danse at some point. Quote

sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I really have a lot of trouble with the TV production. Big black mark of the ceremony for me. Also, the drones are visibly on the ground because of the rain. Normally, when there was the shot of the star dancer solo, there should have been a drone shot flying over Paris from the Hôtel de Ville. It must have obviously been cancelled (or did I not see it?)

And I take advantage of these moments of the athletes' parade to look at the comments on Twitter: I think it's going to be the most divisive ceremony in the history of the Olympics. We'll judge at the end of course. Quote

I suppose the ceremonial parts will only start as soon as all the athletes have arrived. I suppose it would have been too anti-climatic to intersparse even the ceremonial with the parade of nations and the artistic parts. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I appreciate the way they've done this but I usually like to have a cheeky nap during the parade of nations and now I can't. Quote
zigzag Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Did the ceremony voiceover just mistook ROK with DPRK??? Quote
Blazerblaz3 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I'm enjoying the performances being mixed in with the parade of nations. Personally I usually lose focus/interest during the parade so this is doing wonders for my ADD. Quote
sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 My god, the amount of rain that's falling... it makes me so sad. I really feel like it's ruining everything. The "Wow" effect of the city of Paris doesn't work at all in the rain. Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 C'est MAGNIFIQUE!! I LUV it so FAR!! Great job, Paris 2024 & NBC!! At least it all comes together on the pre-packged NBC- version I am seeing! Quote

Olympian2004 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I have to admit that I now start to lose track of this ceremony. Even with the mix of parade segments and artistic segments, it drags on. The awful weather doesn't help the optics either, but that was of course beyond the organisers' control. Quote
