***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.

Great goal by the US women's team in ET. Although Horan was clearly offside. Since the ball wasnt played to her it slides.

Good for the girls!

Sadly, we had to see that withered old hag Rapino a couple of times.

I'll bet she is madly calculating some way she can possibly gravy train off of this team.

Imagine the demoralizing feeling knowing that Gold isn't even an option, even for the second best female 1500 meter freestyle swimmer in the world.
I watched one of her 1500s a while back and she could have done a post race interview before the second place swimmer finished. It was insane.

That announcer has been waiting to use that phrase for years. Good one, though.

Just watched the 4x400 mixed relay. The Netherlands lady on the last leg started pretty far back in fourth and ended up winning. She was crazy fast.

Looks like Julien Alfred ran a 10.72 for the women’s 100m gold. Really impressive.

Sha’carri took silver with a 10.87. Still great but I don’t think we got her best.

Yeah it’s a shame. I just hope her first Olympic dq won’t cost her and really hope she gets her shot in the 4x100
