Paris is set to host the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games, with athletes and dignitaries set to be carried down the River Seine on a flotilla.
But, with the eyes of the world watching, a mammoth security operation has been put in place, involving tens of thousands of police.
In the hours before the ceremony, French rail company SNCF has said its high-speed network has been targeted by “malicious acts” aimed at paralysing the system.
More than 300,000 spectators are expected in the heart of Paris for the event, which will see more than 10,000 athletes carried past some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including Notre-Dame cathedral and the Eiffel Tower – before reaching the Trocadéro.

It's a really bad joke.
Stop venting your anger at french people. Its a illuminati satanic rituals who took place. They hate Christianity especially catholicism
BOYCOTT OLYMPICS, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. CHRIST IS KING 🙏
Je suis français and I due Think this was a great ceremony ! Such a take of risk, Paris la seine was a celebration. globally amazing ceremony Céline Dion, Alana Kamura, the horse, the flamme… This was absolutely amazing. Of course some can do not understand some tableaux but this was un ode for opening mind… Bravo à la France … Si fier, so proud !!!
Unfortunately narrow minded British can not understand this amazing show, let's them be angry , nous sommes heureux 🙂 🙂 🙂 … But the whole word liked it so much… apart from the bigot 🙂 Bises de Paris – France
Shame on you, France, for this disgusting opening ceremony
"Spectacular" and "incredible" event 😂😂😂 🤢🤮👹💩
Why is that disgusting opening ceremony taken down huh. Disgusting woke mind virus, disrespecting tradition, cultures and the hard working athletes around the world.
Satanic rituals
Stinks of incite in ways especially since it's been planned for years and the events taking place outside seems evident the debacles exposed hypocrisy perhaps even protest in guise with the exclusion from participating in the actual games under certain criterias which have yet to be resolved
That's why they used boats.. and the seine..
✅ A represalia à Rússia nas Olimpíadas 2024 é um erro, pois vai contra o conveito esportivo deste evento.
As Olimpíadas pertencem ao mundo e não à França.
Com esta atitude, Macron cria animosidade com a Rússia e demonstra ser nada diplomático, além de péssimo político por não saber separar departamentos, demonstrando imaturidade política e autoridade sobre as Olimpíadas, que ele não tem,
Além de perda da possibilidade de ser a ponte que poderia vir a promover a paz entre Rússia e a Ucrânia, se esse fosse o seu real foco.

I've just watched the ceremony. It was sick, it was dark, it was depraved and not family viewing. The BBC commentators sat going along with it. They should have cut the feed. It was horrific. The world needs the light to return.
Paris was a disgrace to Olympics
well i think we didnt have to see the blue smurf and dancing beard guy if security did their job properly… 😂
Go woke go broke.
Macron lied, the ceremony was absolute crap, the worse ive ever seen
The opening ceremony is a disgrace! I'm not watching the olympics, just like I stopped watching eurovision ages ago. And I gave no intention to visit france again (won't miss the arrogant populace anyway). The 'collective west' – the self-proclaimed centre of the milky way and beyond – has revealed once again its moral, ethical, and spueitual degradation. The world sees this!
Stop mocking Christian values.

They are less than us in number, but using big platforms, our values are being violated. When we see our religious values being humiliated as a joke, we should not just talk about the rumors that "it is a sign of the end of time" in the media. They may worship Satan or tattoo snakes. It may be their right to adopt whatever gender they want and to be as they want sexually.
However, we should not be silent when they mock Christians, Christian books, Christian culture and values, and Christian symbols. Why are you silent, religious leaders, Christians, and religious institutions in the world? Why don't you release the statements you give in ordinary cases when our values are violated?
After this, no citizen of any country or member of any association can make a mockery of Christian values.
We will not tolerate any musician, filmmaker, or book writer who violates our values.
We are against international events that try to mock our Christian values.
We all saw the mockery of Christian values at the opening of the Olympics in France.
We must protest by saying, "Stop mocking Christian values."
We must not wait for them to destroy our generation. We should not wait for them to come and kill us. They don't deserve to violate our rights and values in the name of rights.
How about some coverage on the new leaked footage of the Manchester Airport Police Assault? Disgraceful biased reporting. People are waking up to your agendas.
I liked the ceremony, it was different no negative here.
Love hate comments so 😂
Why should sports be a part of terrorist activities?The world is so currupt for money and fame.
London olympic W
If i wanted to watch Sports related Pornography i would have fished out the old Debbie does Dallas video
Fallen empire, live
PROPAGANDA all the Way. I STOPED looking at TV this Elits since the C,.o_V' i, đ PROPAGANDA, They Don't Stop 😔🖤🤢🤮
If Islam is a religion of peace, then why such security measures?
There was an excessive amount of sexual content during the ceremony, which should have focused solely on sports. How did this get approved by the organization representatives?
All that for drag queens mocking jesus. We need these people on asylums just like what we did years ago.
Worse to come. Clare Balding…..
Gross
Demonic anti chrisitan ceremony ..switch off and cancel your tv license
