Every Olympic Games Declaration That I Could Find [UPDATED] [1932-2024]

11:04 Words can’t express how special and important this moment was on live television, knowing that the French capital hadn’t host the Olympic games for 100 years until the games were declared open. I had an adrenaline rush leading up to the moment and a quick flashback of all the French cultural references that popped up throughout the entire ceremony. Even my English and Spanish(L2) speaking mind(natively) went silent, and my French one popped out(since Im learning the language via Duolingo.). I had goosebumps...and I still do! Macron's was not boring and added that famous French flare.

The queen was the only person to open two editions

German Leader From Austria did 4 good things.

1. Modernized the Olympics
2. Created Volkswagen
3. Inspired The Interstate Highway System
4. Championed Animal Rights (killing animals in Germany when he was in charge was a capital offense, believe it or not!)

[SirSX]

Wonderful compilation, but why is S.R. Nathan the only one labelled as just His Excellency, and not referred to as the President of Singapore?
