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.

My wife has been learning to swim the past few months so we’ve been at the pool doing laps and it definitely gave me a new respect for those swimmers. Obviously doing it every day helps but comparing my abilities as a normal functioning swimmer (no competitions ever or anything like that) to how fast and smooth and how long they can go is just nuts on the difference.

I’m confident I could get way closer to Bolt’s 100 meter time by a substantial margin when measured as a percentage than I could Phelp’s 50 meter freestyle. I guess what I’m saying is I hypothesize Phelps is further from the average guy in his event than Bolt is in his.

I guess Nadia Komenichi and gymnastics but for some reason that felt like Winter Olympics to me.

Memories are weird.
I remember staying up all hours of the night in 1972. Watching Wide WorldOf Sports commentator Jim McKay describe to the world, as the PLO kidnapped and then killed the members of the Israeli Olympic team.
