Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The torch bearer seems to have better weather than everyone else.

Obviously the rain doesn't help and it feels a bit messy. However I find the fact it is all real rather than CGI and big video screens rather refreshing.

What is going on? It feels really disjointed. The interspersing of video inside the buildings with the live action isn’t working for me

This really underwhelming..... and I'd be really pissed off if I was an athlete stuck out in the rain on the Seine

I like that they’ve broken up the parade of nations, but there’s less opportunity to critique outfits and spot athletes

Corralling the athletes into barges where they can't lurch up to the nearest camera and pull faces seems like an improvement on London. I'm quite enjoying the cityscapes.

About This Thread

Maintained by Curly45
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).
