Surrey Phil 12 Aug 10:31am, 12 Aug 2024 10,623 posts	0 Surrey Phil Closing ceremony was so much better than the opening one. The Olympic flame has not been a focal point unless picked up on an aerial shot during one of the events. Fine if you happen to be in and around Paris but not inside the stadium. So for a bit of it to suddenly appear inside a gas lamp without watching the whole of it fade out was disappointing. I thought it was treated more like a child's birthday cake rather than a poignant part of the closing ceremony. As the LA Coliseum has a permanent cauldron, things should be better next time. Glad that the women's marathon medal ceremony was included. However, they should not have excluded the tradition of the men's marathon medal ceremony to do so. It would have been much better to have had both rather than swapping one for the other.

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
