Let’s hope it’s better than the opening ceremony!

Starts at 7 pm on BBC 1.

Alex Yee will be carrying the GB flag.

This is an absolutely accurate representation of everything that is crap about the Olympics- the ridiculous wastage of money. For nothing.

Antman and the Wasp? No clue.

They should’ve just had Celine Dion again and some good old fashioned fireworks.

He’s been running around Paris for two weeks!

The costumes look like an explosion in the B & M Christmas aisle.

And for those that missed the breaking, it's Goldperson v Silverperson

They were in the breaking? I saw ten minutes of it so not that

MouseofCommons · 11/08/2024 21:21

This should have been the opening ceremony. Gojira, Gaga etc should have closed.

Eh? Went to sort out the kitchen and everything seems to have gone a bit Starwars!

That's just his presenting style. He's brilliant.

Thank you.

I don’t live in the UK so I’m not familiar with him.

The majority of the locations were stunning!

Agreed, particularly the fencing, beach volleyball and equestrian events I think.

Is MN really slow for everyone else?

NooNakedJacuzziness · 11/08/2024 21:23

It needs Graham Norton commentating, all a bit Eurovision now

JewelleryCat · 11/08/2024 21:23

I like those images

CheerfulBunny · 11/08/2024 21:23

Oh now, that's quite clever.

SwedishEdith · 11/08/2024 21:23

How are they doing the lights in the crowd?

Agree but there’s also a lot of focus on childcare and finding the time etc. they had the lady who got silver in the shooting talking about sacrificing time with her baby to train and how she felt about that - it wouldn’t even be part of the conversation with a new dad and there would be no suggestion of guilt!!

Her baby was tiny though, only 3 months I think? At that age I don't think it is the same for mothers and fathers to give up time with their babies, especially in a country like the UK with decent maternity leave where most of us expect a long maternity leave from an early age.

It's not like they were talking about a six year old.

Marie Antoinette called, she wants her head back 📞

Yes I agree! Too much pomp!

They seriously have to look about stripping this back, but I can’t see it for future Olympics, notably LA! Now that will be nuts!
