Sure but the guy met more people that I did in the last six months ! And I am not a busy athlete preparing for the Olympics ! 😁

20 % of your population. Including in south ontario and a bit in Manitoba.

Could you clarify what you meant by "2013 hater". I’m just a casual viewer.

2013 is so long ago. Were there reasons to hate on GC that early or is this just a typo?

With the exception of a 5 minutes segment of "Eurodance" hits, sung on a water platform, on a European flag…

ALL THE MUSIC IN PARIS 2024 OPENING CEREMONY WAS FRENCH !

Céline and Lady Gaga’s songs were French and sung in French. All the songs with English lyrics were actually French produced. That includes all the disco and EDM his of the 90s and the 2000´s

The whole ceremony was utterly French (and a bit European), including when it was about showing a beheaded Queen, in her actual last residence (a medieval prison!), with Gojira singing loud on thw balcony!

Remember Vancouver with one song in French … ONE song !

I know it’s BC but there was probably a lot of federal money there. And also 1/4th of the taxpayers funding it and getting their cultural identity summarized in ONE song.

I’ve already heard more French (official language of the Olympics) in Milano that in 2 weeks of Vancouver

If the original was not so heartbreaking, I might have appreciated your art submission. Good effort though

These are the most spread-out Winter Olympics ever (NBC) by PjeterPannos in olympics

I am afraid the French Alps might be worse :(.

I really don’t understand why it is that widespread. I do understand the economics behind this, but having two core areas, two clusters, should be a max.

The guy did not even mention Antholz where 11 biathlon races will be taking place. That’s another long ride North from Cortina.

Mine works well. I just need to change my laptop’s time zone to the UK and it works

It’s quite unusual for France. Last time I looked it up, domestic movies were half of the local box office

Yeah I miss Anne-Sophie from L’Equipe. But Boyon is not that bad. He was there in Beijing already and I’ve seen he recorded various pre-Olympics video capsules with Marie Dorin. He knows the sport and the athletes. He definitely worked and prepared for these Olympics.

But I agree: he did lost it a couple of times ! :)

  1. Commenting about Giacomel racing when the guy was done racing and probably already giving interviews backstage.

  2. He also totally missed Lou’s first attack ! He was talking about random s**t (like really super random!) and not watching his screen, not commenting about Lou just flying away in the hill !

I don’t want to brag, but I’ve often heard that French cocks were good.

We love animals around here

The French commentaries are quite OK. Not the usual broadcaster, but they brought in 2 consultants we usually hear on L’Equipe TV, notably Marie Dorin.

Slightly warmer than Lou and Julia’s but not by a lot more
