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:

I was talking to an old friend of mine the other day and she said she doesn’t know how to swim. She grew up in NYC so I suppose I can understand, but it’s crazy to me that mfs can live for 30+ years and never learn how to swim.
My dad can’t swim and neither can my ol’ lady lol ****ing weirdos |

Women's beach volleyball is way less entertaining this year.

You’re right, I think proselytizing is annoying. I’m sure you do too. Would you get annoyed by someone from a different religion than the one you happen to believe in? Or an absence of a religion telling you not to believe? The drag queens don’t tell you to dress in drag and join them in some kind of mythical orgy. They’re doing performance art. Do clowns trigger your delicate sensibilities too? |

Have we discussed how streaming, and multi view on YTTv is perfect for the Olympics. Already in one day I've watched more than would in years past.
