Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 1 minute ago, arwebb said: 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. Oh wow. Hello!! Hope you are doing well. Quote
sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well. The rain scared away, I think, 80% of the athletes... without the rain, the Trocadéro stage would have been full. It's so sad. Quote
Olympian2004 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 And now the Olympic Anthem gets interrupted by a police car siren. That is also a reminder why opening ceremonies in a city centre are maybe not the best idea. Quote
JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Hey, it's the Olympic Anthem. In the pouring rain! Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 This is what gorgeous PARIS has waited for -- for 100 years!! All good things come to those who wait! Quote
Red Centaur Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The Olympic flag has been raised upside down!?! Quote

Well being in Paris for just over 24 hours I have been hearing lots of police sirens so it is quite fitting 😂 Quote
emre Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 cauldron probably the top of Eifell.. nothing will save this ceremony other wise. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Where's the torch? Where's the flame? I don't like this. Quote
Red Centaur Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 They have realised its upside down and turned off the wind machine that makes it flutter Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Not the first time they do this mistake. it also happened in Sarajevo. Also I like the Olympic Anthem arrangement, to be honest. Quote

yoshi Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Is it just me being stupid or is the flag upside down Quote
Red Centaur Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The Olympic Laurel segment belongs in the closing ceremony Quote
emre Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 OMG in politics if u raise a flag upside down it means decleration of war 🤣 Quote
FYI Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Despite the rain, & all the critiquing here by some, the athletes still look like they're having fun (& that's who the Games are really suppose to be for anyway)! Quote
Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 (edited) They will likely change the flag during this clip. (we hope!) Edited July 26 by Michelle Quote
