Hopefully they’ll replace the BBC commentary team.
Perhaps Graham Norton could inject some gravitas…

I really enjoyed it. I’m clearly not as discerning as you boring old fu…ers who think you are so superior. Vive la France.

All of it, or just some of the three hours.

I found elements of it entertaining… bad luck with the weather didn’t help but because it was split over a wide area, there were long spells when nothing seemed to happen or felt dragged out to get to the next venue. When it’s in a stadium it’s more of a focused event!
Brave decision to try something different though!

Absolutely agree - just too disjointed for me.

I thought the open ceremony was fantastic.
Seeing Rafael Nadal in trousers for the first time ever - and he isn’t even French.

Cerrone Supernature juxtaposed against the laser show on the Tower was spectacular…

It was nice and diversified. Only 2 too long moments with the horse in the water and the conventional speeches.
My favourite moments : Imagine song by Juliette Armanet, the laser effects on the tower, and the balloon.
I learned something too. Didn’t knew that Eiffel Tower was sponsored by Audi.
I forgot the green woman handing the unbrella. It must have been a very hard moment for her.

A great evening’s entertainment FR. the rain didn’t help but all the performers gave 100%. I am sure it will be a great olympics. Thanks too to the entire French nation for being hosts this year.
