No ine cares about Olympic 😂
Wait. They’re still putting on the Olympics? I thought they stop those years ago.
2:20 America, looking good… Mexico, very nice… Japan, hi there… INDIA, what the HELL !
Weren't they the seventh Olympics rather than the eighth?
Olympic Village,🎉
My grandfather was on the French cycling team, he won a team gold and an individual bronze in Paris 1924. My dad competed in Melbourne '56, in Modern Pentathlon. The olympics are always a big deal in our family, but nowadays, it's disappointing, it's gotten political and ladden with doping, i don't plan on watching.
It's a match for France 24 English to post this video about the Olympics in 1924. And the athletic event is happenin' this year dubb'd 2024. What a match!🔵⚪🔴
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO PARIS AND PERFORM THE OLYMICS JUST LIKE IN 1924!!!! THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY AWSOME!!!! BUT I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH YOU AS WELL.
Happy Centennial Anniversary To Paris France Blessings and HUGS! 👑💜
