Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 Just got back from Paris 10 days ago. Was such an incredible vibe, unfortunately couldn't stay for the games but being in a city so close was amazing. Quote

Bear Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 complete list of flagbearers for tonight has been released: https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/News/2024/07/paris-2024-flagbearers.pdf Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 I have to admit i was very pessimistic about this whole ceremony out in the open, but here we are. Can't be worse than the funeral which was Tokyo's (although we know it wasn't entirely their fault) If done correctly this can be on pair with Beijing and London. We'll see about it in 15 minutes.

Sir Rols Posted July 26, 2024 Author Report Posted July 26, 2024 We’ve already set a record of sorts here - the Paris Forums have now passed the Tokyo forums in number of posts before the OC has even started. Paris is already the most active Games GamesBids forum since Rio 2 Quote

I'm glad its different tonight Quote

SkiFreak Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 After an absence... I'm baaaaccckk. Let's see what the French pull off. I like, after the Asian hosting decade, the next decade ahead is flipping between France and the US for hosting both summer and winter. Too bad it's raining in Paris right now. We could use that rain here in Alberta to kill the fire up in Jasper and other areas. Quote
Olympian2004 Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 My belly is filled with a delicious baguette jambon-beurre, I have my white wine ready, I'm ready to go for the opening ceremony! Really excited to see how this innovative concept will work out! Glad to join you all! Quote

Brekkie Boy Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 Not a fan of this red carpet nonsense - it's not the bloody Oscars. Quote
synergy Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 4 MINUTES LEFT BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BROADCAST FEED OF OPENING CEREMONY STARTS. IT SEEMS THAT THE RAIN HAS STOPPED Quote
SkiFreak Posted July 26, 2024 Report Posted July 26, 2024 Anyone happen to know if and when the IOC may have the ceremonies up on YouTube? Would like to watch them without the commentary and commercials that the broadcasters put in. Quote
