***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.

Agreed. I think USA will almost certainly win over both but they are the only two teams capable of keeping a game within 10 I think.

That was a flawless round by Sheffler, helped along by a massive choke job from Rahm.

When I saw Rory choke on 15 I thought yeah this is just like a major.

Sheffler actually teared up on the podium. That was awesome. That tells you all you need to know about what it means to these guys.

That's why it should be some sort of team competition, similar to the Ryder Cup. We see these guys compete against each other all the time, why not lean into the country vs country aspect, and give us something different?

Brilliant comeback by Scottie. One of the best, if but the best, golf tournaments this year.

Agreed but he was -9 today. Just nails and nerves of steel. The 19 footer on 17 was crazy

Also props to Fleetwood for keeping it together when both the other guys in his group fell apart.

And yes, that was an amazing tournament. Felt just like a major to me watching.

Rahm was -20 on the back 9. If he pars in from that point, he wins.

It was a great round by Scotty for sure, but he doesn’t win if Rahm doesn’t choke.

Rahm went 5 over in his last 7 holes and went from a 4 shot lead to out of the medals.

And I thought Rory’s choke a month or so ago was bad. That was incredible all-time stuff from Rahm. Has never been the same since he made the jump to LIV.
