Paris 2024 Closing Ceremony LIVE CHAT

[sebastien1214]

Wtf karaoke?! We really decided not to give a damn anymore, I love it. Very fucking french.

[Olympian2004]

They now stage a karaoke show and no one is singing (at least as far as one can hear it as TV viewer)? Oh my, this has the potential to become a trainwreck...

What is Aznavour singing??

Not many athletes have stayed for the closing it seems

The last couple of Games athletes haven't been given a room in the village for the whole of the Games - just for the period until their competition is over - as a cost saving measure. Which is sensible frankly. So I guess this was expected.

what’s with the echo?

The sound is absolutely disastrous 

You need a cheaper telly mate. Sounds perfectly normal on mine.

Famously so

I need to see that Thomas Jolly guy in my office tomorrow. This can't be it.

[sebastien1214]

but who had the shitty idea of offering a karaoke on French songs knowing that there must be at least half of the audience who are not even French?!

Emmenez-moi

[Scotguy II]

ceremony has been on nearly 1 hour

[AmaniS]

Are the athletes supposed to stand for the nextn2 hours?

[sebastien1214]

It looks like a filler sequence while the athletes all arrive at the Trocadéro except that there is nothing planned at the Trocadéro.

[Bear]

[Citius Altius Fortius]

Joe Dassin vs. Aznavour 1:0

but it is not too late yet to get entertained tonight. And if the rumours are true, we will get a fair deal of entertainment.

[Sir Rols]

I give the UK the prize for the best ceremony outfits here.

[Bear]

weeeee are the championssssss

[Olympian2004]

Come on, even for the ultimate crowd chanting song "We Are The Champions", one can't hear the audience or the athletes singing. Who is the sound engineer? Beethoven?

Rosbif band in the Paris ceremony?! 

[Citius Altius Fortius]

Didn't know that Queen is French...

[JMarkSnow2012]

Gala followed by Queen. Definitely into the"European unity" idea
