Despite the pouring rain, seems like everyone is having a good time. I like the parade of boats holding the athletes. Great special effects also.

(13,144 posts)Joking aside, it would be interesting to figure out how LA is going to create "a spectacle".It's probably going to be a stadium show instead of a travelog like this Paris opening is.

Mentioning no names in case someone hasn't seen it.

And while I was there in '16 when I got off, and out of the subway station close to the Eiffel Tower there was an Advertisement for Paris in competition (back then) for The Summer Olympics of '24!
