    This promises to be the most spectacular Olympic opening. Thank you for taking this out of a stadium and into the streets. I imagine it's quite a nightmare, logistically, but when you have such a beautiful city why not highlight it?

    It's about time the Olympic committee make chess an official sport. It will make the world smarter and safer. Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness.

    I'm most excited about the boat parade. Soon I'll see team USA on their boat

    The weather in France this year is very strange for Summer. One minute it is raining and the next it is sunny. Then there are thunderstorms. Very strange.

    To whoever may read that comment, apologies for the serious tone of this comment, but if you happened to have plan to come to Paris for those Olympics, please just change it, choose another destination. France is currently ruled by a totally corrupted and authentically autocratic, totalitarian regime. Democracy has fallen here. Individual freedoms are increasingly threatened. If you love France and want to help the French people, then just boycott the event so that it can be turned into a major failure for Macron and his minions in the face of the world. Please be also aware that the people who make up this regime are truly incompetent, with the mainstream media constantly covering up their blunders. For several years this incompetence has lead to an increase in violent crime in the country. It's really worrying that these people could be entrusted with the organization of such an event.
