'It wasn’t my favourite opening ceremony.'
Rebecca Adlington says she would have preferred the Paris 2024 opening ceremony to be held inside a stadium Former Team GB Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington branded the Paris 2024 opening ceremony as ‘disjointed’ as athletes were paraded along the River Seine on Friday. For the first time in history, an Olympic opening ceremony was not held inside the stadium of the host city, as Paris opted for a unique approach with over 90 boats.
‘I like the stadium, I like when it’s all together and I like when you can see different things going off whereas this felt a bit disjointed in parts.’ Former United States sprinter Michael Johnson, who was also working as a BBC pundit for the opening ceremony, claims some spectators were also ‘going long periods without being entertained’. ‘It was different,’ Johnson said of the ceremony in the French capital.
