OFFICIAL: Paris Olympics 2024 Thread

[ChicagoFineForNow]

A couple ground rules first.

1. No disparaging the Olympics as "stupid", "pointless", "boring" or any other nonsense descriptors. The Mods will lock you out of the thread if you are found to be doing this.

2. No rooting for or complementing athletes that aren't American, even if there is not an American participating in the event. This will be strictly enforced as well. Mods will bar you from thread as well as possible suspension. The only exception to this is if you'd like to comment on the appearance of an attractive female athlete from another country.

Now let's get to some fun. These opening ceremonies are actually awesome. Some real Parisian pomp and circumstance. Acrobatics, Les mis, other cultural allusions that are going over my head. Athletes from the different countries are coming down the Seine on river boats rather than the typical boring walk into the stadium.

Someone has stolen the Mona Lisa! But the torch bearer is hot on their trail.

Celine Dion crushed that closing song, had Kelly Clarkson in tears. Apparently she’s been battling some illness.

Great opening ceremony, last hour was spectacular. Paris, much like San Francisco is a truly beautiful city when you clean up the filth, both human and otherwise.

FWIW, maybe, just maybe, we ban Farva from his own olympics thread, just for shits and giggles.

If someone bumps into Lebron while he is carrying the torch, will he FLOP?
