Typical of the French, putting lots of foreigners on small boats
do they send them straight over the Channel?
pretty piss poor concept doesn't really work, bloody French! neither does all the mincing along the shore, bloody French! looks like they booked to do it in a stadium then found someone had already booked it for a boules tournament, and had to make do with the river. Bloody French!
It would be good if the BBC commentators could actually tell us what the heck is going on. Who is the faceless guy with the flame supposed to be? Who are this rock band?

I liked the idea, but feels slightly devoid of atmosphere.
Ah I didn't mean this one in particular, just in general it's one of my favourite parts of any Olympics. Only once (twice if you count the closing...) every four years do we get something like this that's such an expression of the host country's culture.
Clearly I’m in a minority, but I’m loving the “Frenchness” of the whole thing (admittedly assisted by some very nice red wine from Italy). Paris looks beautiful, even in the rain, where are the romantics out there?
I have an idea the French are trying to noble the athletes spaying all that river water up in the air. I expect a few of them to have to two bob bits tomorrow evening.

And a lot of the sound feels like it's being lost.
Shame about the weather too.
Like Mbappe or Zidane.
