It's time for the Olympic Games for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

... and so each day I'll be bringing you all the action. Today is the opening ceremony. There is plenty of entertainment. Here is the King's Drum and Bugle Band, led by Drum Major Jermaine Jacobs.

I love this soooooo much
Can't wait for the equestrian events. I used to adore the Playmobil horses as a kid, don't think I ever had one and I still regret that fact!

Love the lineup of elderly men - especially the headgear selection!

A red card for hand ball seems harsh!

@BirthdayRainbow I did look up what offences you could get a red card for and it mentioned handling the ball Iknow nothing about football.

Loving the wildlife in the mountain biking scenes! Missed a few days so binging.

Any update on Pavel, those cyclists go so fast even the slightest tumble can have a poor outcome.

Loved the crowd scenes at the water sports and basketball, good to see the events are a sell out, I hate seeing empty seats in a stadium. Everyone is having a great time, wonderful sports, fabulous weather, ice cream and chips. Who cares if the blue wine lake has temporarily dried up, they will be harvesting the new grapes soon!

Not if it was deliberate handball. He was quite close to the goal, he could have been stopping a long shot at goal!

I didn't register the position @RustyBear so thank you for that.

Who would like to guess tomorrow's sport?

I hope it's got horses in it @SoMuchToBits
I'm starting to get PlaymOlympics and the one on the telly mixed up!

Anyone for tennis? In the men's singles, Andrei is playing against Sergei.

Sergei is serving.

A steady return from Andrei.

That one has just dropped over the net. Sergei can't reach it.

Ball girl Alice retrieves the ball.

Time for a break.

The next match is Zoran v Ashok.

Go on Andrei! Hope it's not too hot on court in Playmoland today

It's Zoran's turn to serve.

He has a powerful serve.

Zoran returns the serve.

In the women's singles, Martina is playing against Frances.

Frances has a strong backhand.

That's a good shot from Martina. Frances is never going to reach it.

Ball boy Vijay collects the ball.

The players take a break.
