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.

Just saw the men's 4x100 race. Absolutely brutal first exchange.

The women looked mostly great and Richardson just blew away the field on the final leg. Glad she got her Olympic gold.

She's fun to watch. She annihilated the qualifier. It got me to thinking that maybe she's even better in a relay. She's short so I feel like she doesn't start off the blocks like everyone else. But here she has a little running start

The US Men have been incompetent as **** in the 4x100 relay since 1988. It is ridiculous. They are incapable of the coordination you see in high school track meets.

The 1992 men, anchored by Carl Lewis, would have won by 1/10 of a second today.

Did you mean to post a picture of Ben Johnson here instead of Donovan Bailey or do you just not know the difference between the two?

Anyway, Carl Lewis tested positive himself at the US trials of 1988 (which the US smartly did not reveal prior to the Olympics) and was undeniably on all manner of PEDs too in his career. I’d imagine just about all the sprinters we’ve seen this Olympics are too.

They do quite well at these considering their relative size. A lot of much bigger countries have much worse medal hauls (and Canada is much more of a Winter Olympic country obviously).

No one likes talking about the amount of doped up athletes that exist, the amount of exemptions some of them have oh and how some countries are tested a lot more than others.

I’ve reached the point where it’s best to just assume they’re all taking something and that those who get caught are just the unlucky ones.

Can’t say I much care about PED use in sports generally though.
