running order

Greece as usual to kick things off followed by the olympic refugee team, and France to close this parade of nations as this years hosts




TeamGB as 72th in the order

My niece will be in this again after being selected for the GB womens 7s squad for her 2nd Olympics.

Olympic Games, an actual good non-political entertainment event


unlike woke hypocrite eurovision




Successica Pegula becoming an olympian, whew the ******* flavour, i reckon all of the Buffalo Bills squad will also be tuning in :D they do for most of her games in tournaments tbh, and vice versa Jessie watching the Bills games whenever she can from the VIP Box

That is amazing !!

Shame that quite a few of the competitors seem to be drug enhanced

Hopefully all her competitors are 100% clean

what to expect from the opening ceremony this friday, something not seen before, with a different than normal flag parade, on the Seine with each country their own boat on that river

So all the participants will be paraded on boats … going past on the river !!??


So the countries with just a handful of contestants will be in one small boat bit what happens with the USA ??

Hundreds of boats or one HUGE one ?

I thought they were rethinking that because of the security risks.

we might have an appearance of Zorro in the opening ceremony, whom is played by Jean Dujardin in a new series in France



also speculation about possible guest performances by Celine Dion and Lady GaGa

the olympic rings at the eiffel tower


--------
in my nation, RTL4 we have a olympic talkshow called Humberto a Paris

sports presenter Humberto Tan live from Paris

and he had a music performance by Eurovision 2021 runner up for France, Barbara Pravi whom performed La Pieva



and she also performed her esc2021 hit Voilá

The security around Paris is insane

french hurdler Sasha Zhoya has permission to wear a skirt instead of trousers during the opening ceremony

first male athlete to wear a skirt at the olympics

Boats in the Sewer ridden river
I hope no one falls in.

it are decent size boats, and perhaps bigger sized boats for the biggest country delegations like the USA, France, TeamGB, Australia


open water swimming event i won't watch, imagine swimming in water filled with crap :yuk:




from my nation

King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and Prime Minister Dick Schoof are attending the opening ceremony


on behalf of the UK you got Princess Anne, Prime Minister Keir Starmer attending



full list of VIP's

Willem-Alexander of course he attends this, he is a former IOC member either ;)

When is the opening ceremony ?

Ta !

Were you suggesting that the Beeb will only show be showing certain events BUT everything will be shown on the Discovery+
channel ?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just checked

Olympics seems to be on BBC , Discovery+
, EuroSport 1 , EuroSport 2 .

Maybe some other channels ?

How bloody confusing !!!!

Hopefully there’s a guide somewhere to explaining exactly what event is on what channel !

"A man pretending to be a sexual mocking of a woman representing women in the Olympics?

This is supposed inspire young female athletes?

So freaking insulting.

Two men arriving with the Olympic flame. The erasure of women in all spheres of public life continues."

might be a chance of some rain tonight in Paris, hope delegations bring their umbrella's on the boats

Still think its madness that we’re having the opening ceremony later on today yet hundreds/thousands of competitors have apparently already left for home and will miss out on all the pomp and ceremony !!



Also why are only 8,000 athletes making the trip down the river in the opening ceremony when there are nearly 12,000 still in the Olympic village waiting to compete ?

Who chooses and how ??

So many questions

because some athletes have to compete tomorrow, or having competed last few days already

1 hour and 29 minutes till the opening ceremony starts

Celine Dion & Lady GaGa duet apparently with La Vie En Rose



and i also hope for a Unity dance act, with banners like ''We Are One'' ''United Against Russia'' "SayEqualityNotRacism''

:fc:

Let Our Unity tonight be a big **** you and a fat middle finger to Adolf Putin and that ***** of a daughter of his


dare attacking us, Russia, Putin is too chicken LOL :laugh3:

already crying at the thought of the israeli delegation getting boo'd

:bawling:


so much antisemitism still :bored:




wish those ''neutral'' athletes would get boo'd, like that tennis troll loser Medvedev :yuk: with his stinking russian face
