Inseine...Para-Oly commentary with spoilers

Beijing was mind bogglingly spectacular, just nation level no expense spared technological willy waving.
London was brilliant, humourous in places, spectacular in places, messages and story.
Can’t remember Rio or Tokyo.
Last night was a sprawling mess

Exactly. Taking it for what it was - a celebration of everything PARIS and I think it was quite a good show.

Without rehearsals on the river I think they misjudged the timing a bit and some sections were a bit long but otherwise not bad.

Still think Andrew cotter made the night for me. He was excellent.

Being in France we hadn’t used the TV in the apartment yet but did last night. Found eurosport so watched the opening ceremony in between the rugby 7s. Have set the TT to record at home.

She’s crashed twice, so not doing a great job of living down the triathlete reputation.

When the worlds was in Rimini, they repainted the road markings and it looked very smart…but it rained and all you could hear was the sound of crashing carbon…
