Instead of the traditional march into the stadium, more than 10,000 athletes paraded on around 100 boats for almost four miles down Paris’ Seine river.
Athletes on board the boats caught glimpses of key sites including the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame, as well as several Olympic venues including La Concorde Urban Park (3X3 basketball, breaking, BMX freestyle cycling, skateboarding), Invalides (archery, athletics – marathon finish, road cycling – time trial start) and the Grand Palais (fencing, taekwondo).

More lol train fairs is why there worried
Disgusting. 🤢
This was basically a cavalcade of woke cringe. A pride parade w/boats. I didn’t even bother to finish watching. Worst opening ceremony I’ve ever seen. The best still remains 2008 Beijing.
the Seine is an open sewer, it stinks, the opening ceremony was a gay joke, the boats used are now heading across the channel full of brown people waving DSS claim forms,
Ephesians 6:11-13 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
One of the most boring opening ceremonies ever. Some people who were there left early because they couldn't see anything. If you're in a stadium the whole crowd gets to see the whole ceremony but on a river the crowd only gets to see what's taking place directly in front of them on any specific bit of river so they miss the rest. I wouldn't have paid those ridiculous prices to get a ticket for a show i couldn't see. I think the stadium ceremonies were much better. Beijing was the most impressive. Paris felt a big Eurovision party. Did the athletes even get to see anything or did they just get off the boats at the other end of the river and go home? And who thought of putting the flame in a big balloon? In the Louvre – not even in the stadium or a place where the athletes perform.
Sick and satanic.
Perverse, vulgar 🤮
Full Satanic,🤮
You will not get more demonically inspired than this. I see that all the new agers and openly satanist worshippers were there.
Embarrassing
The most openly anti western opening ceremony to date, everyone should be able to see the truth if they sit and think about it. An outright globalist attack against Christianity and the existence of nation states.
A disgusting ceremony filled with pagan and satanic symbolism.
The west is ruled by satan.
Pray to god.
As a parisien, I kind of feel personally attacked by all your comments here.
I thought the show was great, original, beautiful and weird and I loved it.
WEAK…UNREADABLE…BIZARRE…SICK DIVERSITY = DIVISIVENESS…
5 SECONDS ONLY FOR EACH BOAT…BIZARRE RUBBISH ALLOWED MOST OF COVERAGE.
Thought this was a pride parade? Absolutely horrible ceremony. Whoever planned, approved and coordinated it should never be involved with anything ever again. Nothing but a ticking boxes fest
Who actually watches the olympics now?
Actually such a joke
what a tragicomic $hit$how that was.
BABYLON FALLING FASTER.
How utterly embarrassing. Under Macron, France has deteriorated to the point that it is almost unrecognisable to generations past.
This opening ceremony is further validation of it's new putrid identity
НЕТ всем планам! Стоп игра!
Disgusting. Demonic. I’m done with this garbage, see you in 4 years ….
Awful, embaressing and truly boring. An opening ceremony to truly forget for any proud French people out there…
This is got to be the worst opening ceremonies I have ever seen. It’s obviously very woke very dumb and this guy banging on the drums that’s not music that’s insanity.
i’m from algeria and we have a dark history with the seine river. back in the day when algeria was a french colony they killed so many innocent algerian people in october 1961 and threw their bodies in that river where they held the parade. our athletes should’ve stayed in hotel and not participate in the ceremony.
I just remember loads of bearded men in dresses prancing around, and a random fat naked blue man. wtf is this?
🔴NOTE: God will not allow Himself to be mocked by mere mortals! FRANCE will regret this soon because FRANCE will definitely reap the Wrath of the Almighty God. Mark this and watch the space!
Disgusting ceremony! Mocking Christianity by drag queens portrayal and a three some portrayal amongst other vulgar things. France you should be Ashamed!
Disgusting ceremony ever
So, they used the money of the French Christian tax payers for blasphemy and to trash all Christians around the world? Ask your money back, guys.
Disgusting trash! Another reason I don’t watch today’s Olympics just like I don’t watch most of today’s garbage on TV!
Disgusting mockery of Christianity. Christ is king ✝️
Satanic opening. Satanic. France you are evil.
You guys see that 99% of all the people dont want a gender gay rainbow ceremony??? Most disgusting 🤢 ceremony ever
The woke community playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes again. 😂
devils……..
Скоро Европа сгорит в огне как Садом и Гоморра. Господь не бывает униженным и враги Его обратятся в прах. Слава России последнему оплоту христианства и семьи
Disgusting! Mocking Christianity. won't be watching it now.
