A thread for the Olympics. 🏃‍♂️

Oh, I thought she was going to light the Olympic flame.

Now it's Amélie Mauresmo
Good choice!!

The light show off the Eiffel Tower is great- even if the “music” is repetitive
Looking back, if they had had the boats coming up the Seine three or four abreast and much closer together, that bit of it could haven over in a quarter of the time with no (much less) loss of interest and it could have been quite spectacular.
To me it was all just far too spread out, disjointed, bitty and while individuals might have been singing or dancing their socks off the impact from a distance was minimal.

When Rafa appeared I thought lighting the flame was imminent, but no!

Hazel Irvine and Andrew Cotter have no idea what to say. And I don’t blame them!

I'm surprised Meghan didn't hitch a lift with best friend Serena on the boat.
No comments please!

Here she is!!

You'd think they'd know. How embarrassing.

If that torch goes out, I'm going to fall off this bed laughing!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where’s the torch gone ? Hope it doesn’t run out of gas !

I hope the uniforms can get dried and ironed tonight !

The commentators don't know who the other woman is carrying the torch.

"It's Nadia Comaneci!!"

Honestly everyone, this has been the best laugh I’ve had in ages thanks to all your comments.

Some folk have got work on Monday, will it be done by then?

Oh the torch is off again. I’ve just heard a commentator ask “Where Will it end?”
Doesn’t she mean WHEN?

Evening

Oh good it’s Rafa after Zinedine Zidane!
But shouldn’t the torch/flame burn at the Olympic Stadium?

Well, you'd think so

Still burning despite the rain!

We goin backwards down the drain ?

Oh good it’s Rafa after Zinedine Zidane!

It needs a bit of Pink Floyd now.

Rafa!!!!

Things are looking up now!!

Oh it’s Rafa that’s brightened the night up.

Nope. The suffering continues! The flame bit had better be good.

Himself’s just said High Plains Drifter is on ITV4. 😁

Wait for it! This is what I meant!

The blue god Dionysus has caught the whole families attention and led to an hilarious Family WhatsApp so the being certainly not wasted 😂
