[Royces Hart]

The rain looks epic in those spotlights

 

[scoman]

Umbrella holding to debut as an official Olympic sport in LA. We are witnessing the birth of something special here.

 

[Rotayjay]

Gee listening to someone speaking French (when you don't speak French) really reminds you how many words English has taken from French.

 

[Royces Hart]

And she was known henceforth as umbrella girl

Hit socials and do a colab with hawk tuah girl.

 

[Royces Hart]

If this was Brisbane, it would be a stolen Bunnings umbrella

 

[intangible]

The handle will get a start

 

[AdelaideGT]

Can't we have a simultaneous interpreter for the English-language telecast?

This is where commentators could be useful.

They could read it out in English (they would have s copy of the script) as the French & Rogge are talking.

 

[revo333]

This is a good speech.

 

[Plugger35]

I did and still have no idea. My arm is getting sore looking at umbrella girl.

Bonjour, parlez vous anglais and merci was the extent of my French when I was in France.

They appreciate it if you just make an attempt to speak their language even if it's just a word.

 

[Kram]

This is where commentators could be useful.

Not if it was Basil Zempalis.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Has a refugee team member ever won a medal?

No. this is only the 3rd games they have had as a "team."

There have been a few medal winners for those who attend as Independent Olympic Athletes.

 

[Rotayjay]

Ha ha - Macron called an early election in the hope he'd walk into the games with a triumph behind him and it backfired. He'd be pissed.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Zinedine

 

[Rotayjay]

Stop wearing sneakers with suits - looks bloody stupid.

 

[Munga]

ZIZOU!!

 

[Drummond]

I absolutely love the Paris theme. I didn’t think anything could top Tokyo, and it probably doesn’t, but man it’s good.

 

[The King!]

that's pretty awesome

 

[Nostradumbass]

The most beautiful footballer to play the game

 

[Royces Hart]

Wow Rafa, that’s bold.

 

[GreyCrow]

The first ever Mecannon set

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

double carry by Zinedine

 

[Nostradumbass]

This is awesome

 

[Stokey]

Shame its so wet. Csnt see most of this lighting on the tower.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Robbie the Robot having a meltdown.

 

[Plugger35]

Disappointing that Zidane didn't go the head charge at Nadal.
