    ffs they could’ve started a bit nearer the tower

    This is taking ages

    Wait now getting some lovely looks of the beautiful Paris buildings now

    Carl Lewis is famous as an Olympian.

    But bit mad that a lot of the athletes picked to 'feature' aren't famous because of what they did at Olympics… coming from soccer, tennis.

    In fairness, this part is so much better being around the city. So much better than a stadium.

    To be honest , the rain has kind of made it more memorable.

    The streets are reflecting the light, and everyone is so drowned wet at this stage that they can relax

    It is a bit lovely to be honest.

    Even in the pouring rain the sheer ridiculous beauty and classiness of Paris is still apparent.

    Is it going to land on the Eifel Tower, and Celine Dion will come out of it?

    Very impressive scenery
