Celine Dion

Celine has been soo sick lately as well, love her! Viva La France!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just a wonderful opening ceremony on all levels with surprises along the way, the rain didnt dampen the spirits at all
Rafa, Serena just to mention a few,,
Lets the games begin and good luck to all the athletes!

 

[Moxie]

I'm going to Paris the day after the Olympics is ending and we will definitely walk the trip that the boats did this night.
Is the fourth person Chris Evert?

For a second I thought it looked like Chris, too. It was Nadia Comenici.

As you say, it was a terrific honor for Rafa. For all of his winning in Paris, and his gold medal in 2008. He missed carrying the flag for Spain in London 2012, due to injury, so I'm sure this was very special to him.

I'm not generally a fan, but I know she has an illness that makes it hard for her to sing. She was the perfect choice for that Piaf song, and she sang it spectacularly. And, one has to feel, bravely.

There were rumors Celine would appear, also Lady Gaga did a wonderful cabaret number earlier in the opening ceremony

That was great fun! I bet she's glad she got it in before the rain came.

 

[Moxie]

They really leaned in to the things that make Paris romantic and iconic, but with plenty of the modern, as well. Just spectacular, and very cinematic. A nod to "Jules et Jim," I think, in that cheeky threesome. Charming, and very French.

 

[Moxie]

I'm watching it too. And so many tennis players on board the boats. What a celebration.
Still waiting in suspense to see who is behind the mask carying the torch...

Did they every reveal that, by the way? That parkour on the rooftops was making me nervous.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW when Frances most famous foot baller Zinedine Zidane passed the Olympic flame to Rafa ....................I was Done! in a good way of course
History repeats itself dosent it he presented Rafa in 2005 with the winning trophy Coupe de Mousquetaires, Rafa first RG title and he went on to win 13 titles!

No they didn't. Think it was some professional guy.
Did you see, that they turned the Olympic flag the wrong way?

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

How do you guys assess Nadal and Djokovic's level at the moment?

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

I think it is a 50-50 encounter.

I'm not big on nostalgia but seeing her Celine made me feel some kind of way! God is so good! Always
