A ceremony on the Seine in the rain, with a headless Marie Antoinette, a metal band, a mysterious torchbearer and a tableau that half the internet read as the Last Supper. The record's entry for four hours of television that produced a fortnight of arguments and one very good meme about the torchbearer.
Sighting: my dad said "Olympic Opening Ceremony 2024" out loud at dinner and then looked at me to check it had landed. It had not. Filing this as evidence of terminal spread.
Died with the closing ceremony, which nobody argued about. The record notes the ceremony was ambitious, wet and French, and that these were the three complaints.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
