Paris 2024 Olympics

Is there Highlights or like a 5-10 min recap of the closing ceremony ?
 
Closing ceremony was way too long. The only good parts for me was the ancient rings show and the amazing music that went with it. Also the recaps were very well done.

The French indie band that played went on for a bit too long and them the LA show was terrible. Nothing but American celebs singing a couple of songs on a beach in front of a small crowd. That's all the American team could come up with?

Went to bed after the LA show so don't know what else I missed lol.
 
Oh yeah and Tom Cruise performed a couple of M:I stunts and took the Olympic flag to Hollywood lol.

Ignore Ian's stupid comment, the vid is pretty hilarious lmao. Kinda feel sorry for that Aussie because every breakdancer I saw was just as terrible.

I'm still waiting for the big reveal that the whole thing, including the overly serious official rebuking from the ausie team, blaming the patriarchy is some sort of elaborate hoax type performance art.
 
So for the 2028 Olympics, breakdancing and maybe even boxing will be dropped. Not sure about boxing yet but breakdancing is def out.

Flag football and squash will both make their debuts and baseball, softball, lacrosse and cricket will all make their comebacks. Lacrosse was last in the Olympics in 1908 and cricket in 1900. Baseball, softball and cricket don't belong in the Olympics imo but what do I know...

Skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing will become permanent Olympic sports.

Apparently like American football i think but instead of tackling you try and take another guy's flag or something like that.

Basically sissified American football :p

Ah, their touch rugby version. I'm assuming cricket will be T20? As if the plethora of T20 WCs isn't already enough.
 
I cannot wait for the LA Opening Ceremony...the melt downs will be epic.

The French: we will have a woke and green Olympics.
LA: Hold my beer................................................
