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.

Impressive gymnastic performances all
round!

Love the gymnastics, both real and in Playmoland! Brilliant stuff. Glad nobody fell off anything.

Thank you all for your messages! Tomorrow there will be not one, not two but three different sports! Any guesses for those?

Loved the gymnasts - I'm going to guess that it will be the marathon tomorrow.

Triathlon? Eventing?

Cindy was very heavily taped, I hope she hasn’t caused any more damage by her performance.

I was watching the mixed relay road walks earlier………… just saying!

I actually watched a bit of it, went out for my own walk, came back and they were still going - though I suspect they had covered a lot more distance than I did as we do more talking than walking.

This!

Thank you so much for this cheering thread. It has done wonders here- Olympic spirit lifting!

Thought I was the only person old enough to remember Olga Korbut!

Well that wouldn't be very realistic, would it!

@Westfacing I'm well old enough to remember Olga Korbut!

Archery, dressage, 4x100m relay?

Don’t think we’ve had any horse events yet so I’m going for dressage!

@leeverarch we've already had archery, so it won't be that.

Guessing Judo again @SoMuchToBits!
Loving your daily posts - a much needed bit of light relief.

Yes, @QueenMabby I think we all need some light relief these days. Playmobil is good for that.

More athletics like high jump?

I’m going to keep guessing equestrian and breakdancing!

@petalpower there must be equestrian at some point, as there were equestrians in the opening ceremony parade! I'm just waiting for your dh to turn up. He originally said 15.45 - 16.00 but got delayed!

Weightlifting?

We've had weightlifting too - Leonid managed to lift 8g!

How do you have such a lovely imagination for the beautiful names? I’m rubbish at naming!

@JewelleryCat well I just started using general (mostly English) names but started running out. I get inspiration for many non-English names by looking at lists (e.g. "French athletes", "Indian politicians") or sometimes by naming them after people I know in RL!

Loving this thread so much and can't wait for the equestrian events!!

Thank you! Looking forward to tomorrow's sports!
