Ok they just explained host nation decides order

Greece is always first, hosts are last. The next hosts are before them.
The rest are decide based on the alphabetical order of the host countries language.

Thank you
You just explained it better than CBC hosts.

Is this lady singing supposed to be part lion costume or something I don't get it...

The DJ is having a good euro dance set. Banger after Banger.

They couldn't put a shelter cover over these boats?

Left us out in the rain. That is a sign of disrespect. For that we must take the GOLD!

The King better get used to it, he will lug around crying Embiid during the Olympics.

Imagine and Hallelujah have to be top in number of times performed.

[Buckets22]

I hope the guy in the suit is Macron.

'Peace in a world without borders'

Again. What?

[G R E Y]

This silver mechanical horse is incredible.

[Buckets22]

This is amazing. I wont make jokes about the Fr*nch for at least a month.

[MagicMamba88]

this ceremony is all over the place.

[Dubnation]

this ceremony is all over the place.

I guess that's by design.

[G R E Y]

Well this is dramatic and ornate. So French!

Just follow our politics, you'll laught in about 5mn

[KokoKaizer]

I don't watch it cause it's busy at my house, I hope we don't look stupid in front of the world (well it's a french tradition after all...)

[Buckets22]

Based Macron.

Went, said Let the games begin, refused to elaborate. Left the stage.

i'm a Euro but I have to say I think the fact that shoe giants dictate the roster for team USA is shameful. if I were American, i'd be low key rooting for them to lose, so's there will be a public outrage over the team not selecting players who are clearly better (like JB and Kyrie) to serve the interests not of the American team or American ppl but rather those of an internation shoe conglomerate - is that the OIympicp spirit? hardly

it won't happen obviously, because USA is too good and too loaded anyway but it is shameful, i'd be sick to my stomach if my national team did that

There are more than enough Jaylen Browns and Kyries on the team. Derrick White was the right pick. I would've alternatively gone Caruso. There's a reason why Jrue is thriving. They need more elite role players, not another on-ball initiator.
