NearPup 2,156 Posted August 8, 2021 #493 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Japan did as well as they could given *waves at the world* and deserves a lot of credit for just putting on the Olympics at all. Good luck France, I'm sure you'll do great. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go watch Moscow 1980 ceremony if you are interested in various folk dances. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted August 8, 2021 #495 Share Posted August 8, 2021 This is the most depressing rendition of La Marseillaise I have ever heard. Normally this is a song that makes me want to drop everything and join the Foreign Legion, this rendition makes me want to take a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted August 8, 2021 #498 Share Posted August 8, 2021 This presentation did nothing for me, but I will definitely aim to experience the Paris Games in person (if only for a couple of days and for a few sports). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor was that the flag was supposed to be a real, and a huge stunt. I’m not sure what happened with that…I thought they did a test run last month. Clearly they had to pivot to the CGI version. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Hungarian commentator said that the weather conditions didn't make it possible. I am guessing the wind was too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
