Paris Olympics 2024

24 torch carriers!! Im gonna set an alarm for 1’ish to see them set fire to the Eiffel Tower

some other lady I don't recognise.

That's the one I meant - they still haven't worked it out on the telly either

Is the torch battery powered?

Poor guys been standing in the rain for hours, looked stiff as a board.

Wow Tony Parker's knees are fucked

Get Tony Parker some Voltarol gel asap!

3 laps of the city by hot air balloon?

A country of the greatest literature, poetry and art and the best they can do is Rafa Nadal in some see through trousers on a boat

Jesus Christ just do it

Pretty cool though tbf now it's lit.

Also, no Around The World by daft punk, not even once.

It's going up!

OK, a proper shit ceremony, but two black athletes lighting the flame as a major fuck you to the NF. Will take that.

No way it's staying up for 16 days... Right?

Epic if it does!

Balloon is pretty cool

Taking no chances with that balloon.

And it all comes back to a Piaf song at the end. Finis.

Anderson Cooper pretty handy on the keys.

At last they got the sound sorted for the songster.

nice to see Celine giving it some beans

Paris Doves of Peace not a patch on the Cycling Doves of Peace, London 2012!!!!!!

Does the balloon have to pay a ULEZ charge?

Can't unsee it now I've seen it

Oh no. Here come the highlights
