The 2024 Olympic Games began on Friday with a big opening ceremony - however BBC commentator Rebecca Adlington revealed that it felt 'disjointed' for those in Paris
The 2024 Olympic Games kicked off in Paris tonight with a show-stopping opening ceremony - although BBC commentator Rebecca Adlington didn't hold back when giving her opinion on the big French welcome.
Speaking to BBC coverage host Clare Balding after the opening ceremony ended, Rebecca Adlington revealed that she wasn't the biggest fan of the opening ceremony. "I think it's one of those where it’s a different experience when you’re watching it on telly to when you’re out there," she said. She went onto add that the Parisian show felt "disjointed" due to it being set on various barges on the River Seine. "I like the stadium, I like when it’s all together and I like when you can see different things going off where this felt a bit disjointed in parts," she added.
Another frustrated viewer wrote, "You can hear the rain over the music and singing...did anyone thought about giving them individual mics and mic receivers so the world can hear what's going on or more for whoever is watching on the Seine? #OlympicGames #olympics #OpeningCeremony."
