Olympic Opening ceremony watch along

[Theremedy]

I can’t see a thread yet but please do point me in the right direction if there is one!

Anyone else watching? It’s all kicking off at 6:30pm, apparently with the athletes parade first.

London 2012 OC was remarkable, I’m hoping the French can match that magic!

Zinedine Zidane

Must have been a great pitch. LA CITÉ C'EST LA STADE

Excuse my articles

Ha, the horrible Catacombs

I think we’ve found the train arsonist.

Phantom of the Opera

Broken down train! Foreshadowing at its finest!

Haha ha

😂

The kids running down that very narrow platform with the torch was stressful!

I'd be useless getting in and out of boats !
Worst nightmare for moi

Laughing at the BBC commentary team sprinkling their comments with franglais

I'll admit I've been wondering if the team outfit designers included life jackets... And is Team USA on a cruise liner - always 100s of them compared with many other teams

I love opening ceremonies.
Theremedy I got obsessed by the climbing wall thingy last time.

Où est Jean-Michel Jarre? O est-ce-que on attend Daft Punk?

160 boats apparently!
Yep, the commentary team having been brushing up on their French via duo lingo !

Pas de Daft Punk, desole

Non! Pas de Daft Punk?

Ils ont dit qu'ils ne va pas participer

Allo allo

Refugee team?

Must have been a right pain if you are/were in Paris while they were practicing and roadblocks were in place.
How on Earth are you supposed to see through the smoke?

Are the athletes going to get drenched going under those arches?

Looks interesting so far though

Ou sont les neiges d'antan? 😉

Teams on their bloody phones 🤣

All those closed roads ! The queues outside around Paris must be horrendous.

Hmm la musique non est magnificent

I like the non-uniform boats though
