Still not a patch on Athens, Beijing or London mind you. It wasn't even better than Tokyo. The last bit in front of the Eiffel Tower was great though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely one of those sports that I enjoy when I see it at the Olympics and then completely forget it exists for the next 4 years Agreed- enjoyed the Spain v Slovenia match this morning. Bit of a shame handball is pretty much non existent here as it’s good to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it made me laugh Caught the last 2 rounds, the British pair nicked a bronze after one of the Aussie girls fell off the board on their last dive. Britain's first medal on opening day since Jason Queally in Sydney 2000, and first female diving medal since 1960.

Florentine_Pogen Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/26/celine-dion-salvages-parade-held-thrillingly-hostage-to-its-own-hubris "Avant: le deluge. There was a moment, about an hour into Paris 2024’s Grand Opening Spectacular, as the rain soaked through shoes, trousers, socks and eventually skin, hair and bone; as yet more boats of waving people chugged down the Seine, like watching an endless series of weirdly nationalistic office parties; as some men did some dancing in a place, for reasons that frankly seemed quite remote at that point, where a thought occurred. Maybe this wasn’t just the worst Olympic opening ceremony ever. Maybe this wasn’t the worst outdoor event ever. Maybe this was the worst thing ever. Fast forward to 11.25pm local time and Paris 2024 basically brought on Messi. There may have been better moments in the meandering history of opening ceremony entertainment than Céline Dion halfway up the Eiffel Tower, just below the Olympic rings, lights cascading, 56 years old but an absolute sonic force, belting out a jaw-dropping rendition of Édith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Weather conditions for the time trial absolutely brutal. Turns out that Olympic athletes don't bounce when they hit the floor, who knew? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
