A hot debrief, and a cold debrief tomorrow. I find it interesting if only to compare between what I thought immediately, and after letting a night pass. Quote

But hey, Paris is doing a few things differently, so we can do a few things differently as well. As you wish. I'm still a newbie here. I was just afraid that my debrief would be drowned in pages of live react haha. Quote

kevzz Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 This scene at the bridge is brilliant. Goes to show nothing beats a crowd in a stadium setting. Quote

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 They stuffed up the timing! They skipped London, Rio and Tokyo. Wow. Quote
arwebb Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I really hoped tonight would be different from the tedium that I usually find in opening ceremonies but it hasn't. Still, our French friends shouldn't give a stuff what the rest of the world makes of it. This is their night like it was outs 12 years ago. My goodness, that feels a long way away. Quote

Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Let’s be real. This is iconic. Eiffel Tower clearly the most iconic building, and this staging is excellent. I agree with Rob. They should have made more of the tower from the get go. 2 Quote
