See Coe showing great restraint to not stab Thomas in the Bach, it would be warranted.

Didn't realise there were only about 50 volunteers for the whole games. Hats off to them.

Only watching for Billie Eilish, and she’ll be last obvs
Although I was convinced some of the flag carriers were going to trip on some dodgy cable management on their way in. Health & Safety would have a field day

I don’t begrudge the athletes some fun, but as a TV spectacle, it’s a bit pants Indeed, both opening and closing ceremonies would benefit from being much shorter. LA had a dude in a jet pack. This is a rather boring Cirque De Soleil. |

Nice to see the Assassin's Creed person is back, maybe they'll actually get a kill this time.

I wouldn’t normally, seeing as it’s a work day tomorrow, but this ceremony needs alcohol

I am watching it on eurosport deutsch. As the Spanish feed crapped out.
Ir gives it an even more surreal edge.

I really hope the Yanks are going to liven proceedings up a bit when they take over the ceremony.

The whole Jordan Chiles saga is a total shitshow - really feel for her.

Why didn't they get Jean-Pierre Jeunet to direct either of the ceremonies? It would have been far more interesting than whatever this is.

Not sure how the athletes that have been included in the falling over montage are supposed to feel.

Am I crazy or was there literally only one British athlete in that whole montage? And fleeting at that.

Yeah the mix seems to have the prerecorded sound as backup, and they can barely play any of the live audio.

There's some irony in the closing ceremony having French acts that sing in English.
