Paris Olympics 2024

[Moomin]

Barcelona is one of my fonder memories of olympics, a girl in my class won a competition on the radio and everyone in the school got the Barcelona 92 olympic tee-shirt.

Athens 2004 one of my ex's best mates won bronze in the canoe slalom.

Shw would have gave the best power hamshanks.

Seoul was my first memory of Olympics like the 86 Worldcup so will always be special to me.

London 2012 was superb but as a country we are a million miles from them games. Paris looked superb and used the city to promote the games.

I reckon LA will go all out to prove a point to the rest of the world in 2028.

LA is going to be terrible for time. There's 8 hours difference, the big events are all going to be prime time in America which means 2 or 3 in the morning for us.

I actually watched this...

First off, at 36 she is twice the age of most of the other dancers... Secondly, she wore an Ozzie tracksuit that an athlete would wear!

She was so bad that at one stage I'm sure she was doing the hokey-pokey!

cokey*?

 

[Rita_Poon]

And as mad as a Rasputin monologue, we're off...

 

[RomanReigns]

Did you know macarons were named after the French president

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Basically if China doesn't run a sham doping investigation on their swimmers the USA does the double

 

[Tommy Chong]

cokey*?

All the cokey in the world wouldn't have helped save her mess of a performance!

Maybe I should have gone with '*cocky', because being an Ozzie, she couldn't help showing off that arrogant, obnoxious attitude that we've come to see and love from most of their other sportsmen... From the cricket team to their rugby team...

Only to see her get pwned by the younger dancers who could actually breakdance!

They're all tripping on that carpet.

Also, is this the stadium that champions league final was held?

Where's the rush against the turnstyles? The climbing of barriers? The mindless violence and bunking in as an exec of uefa et al?

The world is watching, eurovision-Olympic-craziness, will someone please consider the kopites...

They'd deffo win gold in the climbing of the fences.

Quick admission. I thought it was a Picasso Rhinoceros initially, it's clear as day now but that speaks for expectation.

@Joey66 can you translate this?

I suspect the answer is NO.

 

[ste d' indica]

Congratulations to the Dutch actually, cracking games for them, sound people an' all.

I hope there's more parkour stuff in the closing ceremony like there was in the opening.

Whhich oddly enough it itself is not an Olympic event.

Seeing as there was a pair of plums in the opening ceremony, I fully expect at least one growler for the closing one

 

[ste d' indica]

Yeah, I'm down with that for a new Olympic sport actually, combination of crowd surfing and 'oops upside yo head'.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Anyone here speak french? I'm sure these odious pricks have just said they're gonna sing walk on!
