I couldn't get tickets for the Olympics. I went to the Paralympics and it was rammed. You're talking shit.

Me too, I think London 2012 Paralympics was the best attended ever - we went pool morning, main stadium afternoon. It was great to experience the park and the event.

Blimey, that was as dry as old twigs next to the London Ceremony. They should have Danny Boyled it.

I assume there’s more hoopla to come? That can’t be it, surely. Feels like it’s yet to start.

Thought it was great. Very different having it outside a stadium. Shame it rained so hard but Paris always looks amazing.

I must admit, it did get a bit better once the sun went down. Any ceremony is always going to look a bit shit on a grey, rainy day.

That's weird. I've never watched an Olympics and then stopped because there weren't enough people in the crowd.

Ok, I frequently do it when it comes to sports. Just take football during covid.. thought it was shit to watch when there was no atmosphere etc. Watched maybe 15 minutes of the Tokyo Olympics, couldn't get any emotional bond to it because it was... dead.

We're all different.

Thomas Bach was a foil gold medalist at Montreal 76. The IOC were cheapskates back then :mad: .

You certainly are. But if you want to criticise the London Olympics, you've picked the wrong thing in attendance. It was rammed.

Instead maybe go for the joke of what they did with the stadium.

I dunno I’d be pretty miffed if at London 2012 they’d rolled out Federer
