I was wondering if it was Piaf’s song. Nice.

Insane . I’m blown away with those 4 hours .

Does Canada get a pass for the spying after lending its national treasure for the final of the ceremony?

Lol at people having a hussy fit about a drone watching soccer practice .For crying out loud most of the soccer games i watch lucky to score a goal or 2 between both teams.It's all about cheating without getting caught and most countries do a lot worse than flying a drone around .We are way behind. Besides that i always love watching the Olympics even though most of the time Canada are competing against doped up athletes

It don’t make a difference , exactly why doing it was utterly stupid especially it’s clear against the rules …. If in doubt ask the New England patriots or the nfl

 

[ArtPeur]

Gojira. That segment was insane.

Yeah give me some more man. f*** everything else, make it all Gojira.

Imagine.....making a show like this on a river......

All the works , money, timing etc...
Athletes on boats etc.


Historical event.

No country or city even tried this before....it was always in Stadiums....a lot easier to do.

Paris...what a great city!

Not only river ! Many places in the city too…. I was sure I would be critical aftwr but can’t . Was magical

The Fiba World Tournament last year was really entertaining to watch and Canada has the same core group where they added Jamal Murray, Andrew Nembhard, Trey Lyles & Khem Birch

Canada has a real chance to grab an Olympic medal in basketball. The team is stacked with NBA players and they have a superstar in SGA. First game is tomorrow against Greece I believe.

 

[SlafySZN]

For me

Tennis
Gymnastics
And the sprints 100m and 200m

The olympics are so woke now, doubt I'll watch any of it. So wait I'm shamed for driving my car to work, carbon emmissions etc, but let's celebrate a million or so flocking to Paris for the sake of sport, this pollution is ok.

So confused , getting old I guess

Sadly I'm the opposite. I'll watch any event, if a Canadian is in it.

I'm ordering you a couple of rocking chairs. The extra one is so that I can come and visit lol

Lol... I usually do ladies beach volleyball... it's a nice sport.

Lol I'm only allowed to watch that when my wife and kid aren't home.

You mean you don’t like watching drag queens mock Christ?

A lot of my friends feel the same way. That could be said about most sporting events that we watch though. Personally I try to overlook all of that, looking more at all the hard work and dedication. The "mostly" clean athletes have to endure.

 

[overlords]

You mean you don’t like watching drag queens mock Christ?

Not if Tim Curry isn't involved

 

[the valiant effort]

You mean you don’t like watching drag queens mock Christ?

 

[Habs]

You mean you don’t like watching drag queens mock Christ?

That's what did it for me

 

[Habs]

Enjoy the moment my friend . Don’t overthink it .
One thing about getting older (me too by the way) we don’t know how many great sporting moment we have to enjoy more ,. Let’s cheer our athletes . And just enjoy the sports part of it , regardless what each of us might think on other matters.

Give me a 100 gold , a shock in basketball and all else is good lol

the problem is the day after its done, it doesn't mean much to me. The days of this being about amateur athletes is long gone, those moments meant more for me. I'm getting old lol

 

[TRG]

Yea I turned that shit off immediately, miss me with that pagan satanic globohomo bullshit

You should've stayed for Céline, L'hymne à l'amour could've helped your poor soul.

 

[Adriatic]

Wtf were those opening ceremonies

You mean you don’t like watching drag queens mock Christ?

Man that was awful. Celine best part of the show yet again lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn, Celine Dion was amazing! Incredible rendition of Edith Piaf's L'hymne à l'amour.

Her voice is as amazing and strong as ever.

 

[crosbyshow]

Céline Dion.

Ittle girl from Charlemagne , Québec...and the French asked her to close the show!

Wow

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Damn, Celine Dion was amazing! Incredible rendition of Edith Piaf's L'hymne à l'amour.

Her voice is as amazing and strong as ever.

12 year old FOTS loved her. 20 year old FOTS was ashamed. 39 year old FOTS is back to liking her!

 

[Licou]

I really don't care about summer Olympics, especially the opening ceremonies.. But I had a friend that came over tonight show me the Gojira AND the Céline Dion performances and... wow.. holy shit that was amazing.

Céline was so powerful on la Tour Eiffel, god damn.

And Gojira, signing ça ira ça ira? Are you f***ing kidding me? And then the 'blood' explosion on the the walls of la conciergerie? WHAT? You can't make this shit up.

Both those performances made this grown ass man tear up, not going to lie...

Yes let's promote le ebin trad values instead like killing gays and raping choirboys.

Please don't bring that sigma incel shit on HF.

 

[Twisted Sinister]

You mean you don’t like watching drag queens mock Christ?

I have no religious skin in the game and I still found this super distasteful.

Not if Tim Curry isn't involved

Correct.

How about neither? What does mockery of religion and shoving peoples' sexual identities and kinks in your face have to do with sport? Would people feel the same if they mocked other sacred cow religions too?
