***Official 2024 Paris Olympics Thread***

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.

Upon further review- I am thinking Finke is not Human. There has to be some sort of aquatic cross breeding. I am thinking Dolphin.

I did the mile swim in Boy Scouts. Let's just say I would not have made the podium! But I finished!

It's crazy to think you could drop these guys off a mile from shore in the middle of a lake and they could be back on land in 15 minutes.

That was what I was thinking when he fell apart. That was an epic collapse.

What amazes me is Finke had enough gas in the tank to turn up the heat on the last 50m. He is not human.

There's too many swimming events. Skews the total medal count for some countries.

Pretty sure there's a rumor going around that the Chinese take performance enhancing drugs and engage in blood doping. I don't know where I heard that but I'm pretty sure it's true. It sounds true.

These 400m times are crazy. Dudes are jogging the last 50m and posting low 44s.

World record is just over 43s.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the athletes are doping.

1500M semis were lit. All 3 Americans make the final. That Kessler kid looks like he’s 12 years old.
