🔥 PARIS 2024: Olympic Flame Lighting Ceremony • FRANCE 24 English • FRANCE 24 English 

☮ Your screen name worries me a little...

The modern Olympic Truce starts one week before the main opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and ends one week after the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games.

As far as I remember the Olympics always bring the message of peace and unity in their ceremonies. Is what the rings symbolize.

they did have a hell of alot of wars too - if you read classical history or any of the Homer books. The Romans translated alot of the ancient greek texts, and the Islamic empire also translated ancient greek and Latin books so knowedge wouldnt be lost , this all helped the Rennaisance in Europe later

they learned it from scythians on the pontic-caspian steppe - who share ancestry with both ancient greeks & modern celtic britain - the first greek philosophers were all of scythian descent

​@@fais6964the abrahamic faits brought more wars though

I came here to say the same thing. What a missed opportunity!

The TV hosts are making too much annoying talks during the show

Yeah,they talk too much

The high priestess???

@@xnoelle25 Yes 41:58

Which was lit on the parabolic bowel. The rehearsal was sunny so it’s still lit using same technique

Can we have the Alaska games during the summer ?😂

Brisbane, Australia will be the host of the 2032 Summer Olympics. Sydney, Australia was the host of the 2000 Summer Olympics. The Olympic torch was in Tasmania on the following days: July 31 (day 54): Journey aboard the _Spirit of Tasmania_ August 1 (day 55): Burnie August 1 (day 55): Queenstown August 2 (day 56): Glenorchy August 3 (day 57): Kingston August 3 (day 57): Hobart August 4 (day 58): Campbell Town August 4 (day 58): Launceston August 5 (day 59): Deloraine August 5 (day 59): Journey aboard the _Spirit of Tasmania_

@@RaymondHng Thanks; BTW; was there any running on deck of the Spirit of Tasmania? (The 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics was the BEST ever!)

endless verbal diarrhea 😄😀👌

Turn the volume off

@@janedmunds4218 But then I would also shut off the music of the ACTUAL ceremony -- so why should I deny myself that? The commentators just YAKKED too much. It was NEVER like that before!!

Backup flame for the weather (too cloudy).

In the past they have been allowed to participate without their flag or anthem, this is most likely the case again. Even tho (especially with one of the two) we like to put some blame on the civilians of a country, fact is they don't run their country and just wanna compete in sports, as long as they are not allowed to "advertise" their country then that's honestly fine. It's better to include them so at the very least those athletes and some of their viewers will go "oh hey, maybe they're not evil like my gov has been telling me all this time" then to deny them entry and give their government more bs stories to spin/those people more reasons to hate us all 😉 *Edit: Looked it up, can confirm, they are allowed as "neutral athletes" if they behave, if they start trying to push their governments narrative then they will be told to leave/disqualified, nobody from their gov(s) will be invited either (but technically they can show up if they don't wear colors i think?) and there are apparently 11 of them in total*

Which ones?

USA and NATO members should banned from Olympics too, with your poor logic and IQ of a lettuce

I'm surprised you can fit commenting on videos into your busy daily schedule of making tinfoil hats

They are brilliant Ande ultimatly the best poets the ancestors aren’t they axiome ancii
