sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well, to be honest, I still find that the strictly protocol parts are much better managed here, in this ceremony, than in the previous ones. (with the flag not upside down, it would have been better...) Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well, time for me to get up and go to the bathroom or something cuz anything is better than hearing this moron for 20 minutes. See you in a few. Quote

I agree with Rob. They should have made more of the tower from the get go. I agree with you, too, Rob Quote

Fucking Bach-ass, istg whoever succeed him better return the movement to what it was before him, ofc while adjusting to the realities of the new world we're in rn Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 So there has been no formation of the Olympic Rings and we've basically gone from the boring bit of the parade to the boring bit of the formalities. Quote

sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Tony Estanguet. The man who speaks, and a woman is asked to be the maid to hold the umbrella for him so that the man, the male of the house, does not get wet. For me, that is hard to accept in 2024. Quote

olympian.br Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 3 minutes ago, sebastien1214 said: 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. The lack of athletes, the raincapes, the staging, all of it makes a not very nice scenery, almost sloppy tbh, despite the monumental Tower. Quote

Olympian2004 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I am so desparate about this ceremony now that I rejoice in the little things now. For example, how sexy Tony Estanguet looks in his suit with his cute smile. 2 Quote
FYI Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 It's you-know-who's favorite person talking now (in French)! Quote
