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.

Australia's Arisa Trew, a ****ing 14 year old won gold in women's skateboarding. In Tokyo Sky Brown of Great Britain, a 13 year old got bronze and then she got bronze again this time, too. That's pretty damn insane.

France literally got every call imaginable (as was to be expected), but largely just a complete chokejob by everyone not named SGA on that team. Jamal Murray was nowhere to be found.
Canada scored 10 points in the 1st quarter lol.

Yes, hence the chokejob. France ended up shooting 17 more FTs (and were somehow given a basket on an offensive foul, which I've never seen before at any level of basketball), but they never were able to recover from that start.

Just a complete no show from Jamal Murray in every respect that tournament.

The Norwegian went far too hard initially and the Brit felt he had to match his insane pace which basically sabotaged both of them.

Hocker snuck through while they were out of gas

I was never THAT kind of runner. But to maintain discipline and have the juice to run by them in the last 3/400M shows how smart he ran that race.
