This Tuesday, August 13, 2024, France 2 is extending the party a little and is offering this Tuesday, August 13, 2024 The Games Album. Unfortunately, this retrospective did not particularly convince Internet users because of a small detail.
This will not have escaped anyone's notice, The Paris Olympics are over, to the great displeasure of the French and sports fans. For 18 days, from Friday July 26 to Sunday August 11, 2024, viewers lived to the rhythm of sporting exploits. This allowed them to discover or rediscover new stars of French sport such as Léon Marchand. Whether swimming enthusiasts or not, everyone thrilled to the victories of the young 22-year-old from Toulouse. He achieved the feat of winning 5 medals, including 4 gold for the 400m medley and the 200m medley, as well as for the 200m butterfly and the 200m breaststroke, in the same evening. A historic double, which had never been achieved by any of the great swimmers. An event that ended this Sunday, August 11, 2024 at the Stade de France. And the least we can say is that Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the ceremonies, had pulled out all the stops. After Celine Dion who sang The hymn to love On the Eiffel Tower, it was Tom Cruise who jumped from the roof of the Stadium to retrieve the Olympic flag in order to drop it off in Los Angeles by helicopter. Mission possible for the American actor.
“I feel like I'm watching Cash Investigation”
Since the end of the Olympic Games, a certain nostalgia has taken hold of the French who are now impatiently waiting for the Paralympics to prolong the party. And to put a smile back on their faces and immerse themselves a little in the fervor of this Olympic fortnight, France 2 is offering this Tuesday, August 13, 2024 The Games Album, a recap of the most beautiful victories of the Paris Olympic Games. Unfortunately, this evening was not always unanimous among Internet users: “NostalJO in front of France 2… Summary ok, but it would have been nice to see behind the scenes of the French team”, “A little disappointed for the moment, I hope we're not just going to see extracts from the finals” can be read on X. Others were annoyed by a small detail, the voice-over: “10 minutes 4 gold medals no emotion, and the other one who doesn't stop talking, your retrospective is rubbish!”, “I feel like I'm watching Cash Investigation”, “This Olympics recap is so sad… the voiceover is depressingit's old-fashioned, it's soft! Too bad”, “It sounds like the reporter from the TF1 midday news who does these reports in the Gard or other villages who says a sentence cut into 4, 5 portions in 1 minute” can be read. Fortunately, these few details will not have spoiled the evening of all the Internet users, happy to prolong the Olympic dream a little longer…
