Paris Olympics 2024

Post by Anne-Marie Gagne »

The Olympics have started! I really loved the opening ceremony. It was so very cool. I'm also looking forwards to watching as much as I can. I'm so glad I can record things to watch later. I love watching the gymnastics, equestrian, swimming, diving, skateboarding, soccer, tennis, table tennis, sports climbing, beach volleyball, volleyball, and most of the track and field events. So really, almost everything :lol:

I'm also excited to watch the new breaking events as well since that was added this year. I'm excited that the 3x3 basketball and surfing events are back this year but I find those sports very boring so I'll be happy if Team USA wins even if I won't watch them haha.

Are there any events you're planning on watching this year? Are there any you don't plan on watching at all?

I really liked the ceremony! It seems that I'm one of the few people in my family and friend circle that did. Too bad it was raining, I bet it'd be awesome seeing all this in the sun or at least a dry place. I'm biased, but my favourite part was how they included sign language interpreters in the ceremony. It was a very small part of it, but it was just so lovely. :wub:

My country isn't the best at Summer Olympics, we mostly get medals in the Winter ones, but I still love watching them. Archery, shooting, javelin, shot put, anything where something is either shot or thrown is my favourite.

I also check in with my country's events when I've got the time.

My family has always been huge sports supporters, especially my father. We always tune in to every kind of sport and try to learn more about them. I especially love artistic gymnastics. The strength, practice, and core strength that the athletes have leaves my lazy self in awe every time.

I am almost ashamed to say that I’m not the biggest fan of summer Olympics. To be honest, the Olympics is not something I’ve ever really watched extensively, be it summer or winter. I do like the figure skating,though, so that’s something!
