Paris 2024 Olympics: Spectacular opening ceremony staged with Celine Dion and Lady Gaga

The 2024 Paris Olympics are now officially underway after the French capital was turned into an open-air theatre for last night's opening ceremony.

Some 7,000 athletes took part in a floating parade along the River Seine - part of a show that had everything from the can-can to Celine Dion and Lady Gaga.

Sky news got the nerve to call it spectacular . Its the worst opening ceremony ive ever seen

[MrRight]

"Spectacular opening ceremony"? Seriously? I thought it was a drag show.

[Nikitateagurl_]

Its horrible, vulgar, confusing and just total disappointment. Who ever planned and approved that event shoud be ashame

[rbbbmiu]

Worst opening I have ever seen. Woke show throughout.

Only Sky News, CNN, The BBC, CBS, loved the opening ceremony. 🤡🤡🤡

[arthurledger]

Disgusting, dont even wanna watch the Olympics now 😢

[fourtoes]

The level of glamorization of vulgarity that passed as the Paris Olympics opening ceremony surpassed my most pessimistic expectations.

[davethomas]

Worst Olympic opening ever. Next time let’s just do everything inside the stadium.

IT'S ONLY sat-anic RITUAL, NOT SPORT, NOTHING INTERESTING !!!

[darkprince]

This was basically a cavalcade of woke cringe. A pride parade w/boats. I didn’t even bother to finish watching. Worst opening ceremony I’ve ever seen. The best still remains 2008 Beijing.

[deanborisov]

The worst, cheapest and dirtiest opening in the Olympics history, shame on France.

[kingmac]

Sky news says nothing about the insult to the church tho..

[tc]

Blasphemous and glorifying debauchery. What a sad moral decline.

[louispks]

The worst opening ceremony in living memory reminded me of Eurovision. Turned off and watched London 2012 on YouTube. Mr Bean, The Queen and James Bond a proper opening ceremony.

Big disapointment from France. This cermony was not bad.., .was discusting!!! As a Greek i feel ashamed ...that was disrespectful to the Olympic Idea..

[catholicmilitaryassociation]

France spits on her noblest heritage. Sad to see such sick decline.

[exactly]

As a french man living in France i apologize for this woke / LGBTQ propaganda from the opening ceremony.... I'm truly ashamed of what became my country....

[tomfosterlan]

main stream propaganda channels are trying to sell this as spectaculaire 😂 what a joke the worst Olympic opening ever 🤮🤮🤮

[mind-body]

Spectacular? Spectacularly disgusting. Enough is enough!
