Olympics 2024

Brave choices for the opening ceremony. Tried to deconstruct the thing in an original way. But...

It didn't work. Very disjointed and the set pieces were all over the place. The barges of teams sounds like a nice idea, but in practice it strung out the most boring part of the ceremony, and killed any continuity.

A noble attempt at something new, but, no.

It was a disaster, getting slated from pillar to post too.

I wish they'd ****ing get on with it - parade all the athletes with a flag bearer up front for sure but do it early then start the games a bit later.

Opening and closing ceremonies are just a boring wankfest of pretentiousness.

It was boring and weird other than Gojira and Celine Dion singing Edith Piaf.

This is when we needed Godzilla to take out all the Trannies

This is the only time I’ll watch hockey. I’ve got a lot of respect for them but there’s a lot of huffing & puffing for not much result

This is pretty cool. La Défense Arena, Racing 92’s multi purpose state of the art Rugby Stadium transformed into an OlympicSwimming venue.

Potential last ever pro match for Andy Murray playing with Dan Evans, first to ten tie break to decide after 1-1. 5 match points down.

They only went and saved them all to win it.

Most Andy Murray moment ever

Class that was from Murray and the other lad! Even if he goes out next round he'll be over the moon with that win!

I was watching the cross country equestrian last night. Wow what a gruelling track to compete on. 45 jumps to complete in 9:02 ideally.

The Aussie women’s football side were down 5-2 in a must win match against Zambia & came back to win it 6-5. Crazy match
