Getting wet on a river, Olympic Opening Ceremony thread deux

[Theremedy]

Will it get awesome?

Who is roof guy?

Will the cauldron be in the Eiffel Tower?

Sadly yes, he was naked, covered in gold leaf reclining on a giant tennis raquet held up by fellow teammates dressed as tennis balls adorned with Novaks face. Highlight of the evening imo.@CharlotteRumpling

Loving the surfers - better than atlantic coast of France now!

@BestIsWest yes!!!

Loving the French boat! Best it's great to be there! 🥰

Wine bar? Yeah they need some booze after this!

It’s great to see the French team so happy. Must be amazing to be the host team.

Ok, I liked the " We are going to need a bigger boat" for the US team!😃

Christ the weather though , poor France 😏

Dammit I will be disappointed if there is no shark now!

Have we had the athletes who have been displaced? Sorry I forget their official name. And the athletes formally known as russia

Yes. The refugees boat was 2nd.

Refugee boat was second, after Greece.

The refugee team went second after Greece, I think.

@Alpolonia yay, another positive post!!! I agree...would love to be in Paris right now! The celebrations will last well into the night

It would have been funnier if they'd played Waterloo while the French boat sailed past...

😂

I am beginning to suspect that there is more than one flame boy.

I have concluded that the French alphabet had not been though l'Acedamie Francaise. Alongside le weekend, l'email etc,, the language is on a tumbril to la guillotine (or hell in a handcart)

I wouldn't say dancing as such, it was more balancing on the highest stiletto heels in the world and wiggling a bit without actually falling over whilst the dancers waved more pink ostrich feathers around her. For her finale, she even walked up seven steps in them.

Refuge athletes were second, after Greece. No Russian or Belorussians in the boats.

There was a refugee boat right at the beginning.

I thought they were going to be decapitated by that bridge!

@ebadame yes! They were fantastic!

Macron isn't happy

Oohh it's the theme from Made in Chelsea!???
