***Official 2024 Paris Olympics Thread***
Watching the Olympics? Post about it here.
A quick intro.... 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Start time, TV channel, date, live stream, key athletes and events The 2024 Olympic Games begin July 26 and will be televised on NBC through Aug. 11 It's the time once again. It's time for the best athletes in the world to come together and crown champions in their various sports. The 2024 Olympic Games are set to begin this week in Paris as the world descends upon France. While there will be some qualifying events taking place earlier in the week, things officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday and feature several firsts, including being the first ceremony to be held outside of a stadium, as well as a parade of athletes held on the Seine River with boats for each national delegation. The boats will travel along a 3.7-mile stretch, passing by many iconic Parisian landmarks along the way. The ceremony will conclude with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron. Expect another gold-filled summer for the Americans as Team USA will be represented in just about every event over the course of the Games. Some of the biggest stars are back, including gymnast Simone Biles, decorated swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, as well as track athletes Noah Lyles and Sha'carri Richardson. Plus, the men's and women's basketball teams look to extend their dominant runs at the games with more gold. There will be two flag bearers for the United States when the team takes the boat down the Seine River -- LeBron James and tennis star Coco Gauff. The 2023 US Open champion was stunned by the news when it was revealed to her on Wednesday. "I never thought in a million years I would have the honour of carrying the American flag for Team USA in the opening ceremony," Gauff said in a statement. "I could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is." Here's how to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and highlights from the first week of competition. Quote:

**** the Olympics. The IOC is one of the most corrupt organizations in history. Where does all of that money go? Whose hands are taking in all the bribes? Judging in the Olympics is unbelievably corrupt. Anyone that has ever seen or read about the 1972 Olympic basketball final cannot honestly continue to have faith in the objectivity of the Olympics. **** them. **** them hard.

It was awesome to see Gojira play the opening ceremony. Caught them with Mastodon at Sandstone last year. Heard they made them use a pre-recorded track though. Something about not wanting to risk technical malfunctions. Don't know if that is true or not.

Gotta give it to this yank Taylor Knibb who has crashed 3 times in the road time trial and had to have her bike replaced (with her mechanic crashing into her en route to replacing the bike). An absolute nightmare race for her but she hasn't given up. Legs all battered and bloodied. A proper Muricuhn.

Bike racing on wet cobblestone. Always a good decision.

That was some Santanic trash. Then the Statue of Libert has a mark on its face. Nasty people in charge of this shit.

I watch water polo once every 4 years and love it every time. Such a fun sport.
