Lennox Lewis was born in London. Dion was born in Canada to Canadian parents. Celine is about as French as Lady Gaga.
I remember all the usual whinging about how embarrassing it was going to be and it would be a fail, fail, fail. And it was fantastic and all done with a touch of humour and good will. Something Parisians are well known for
And don’t forget we got the 2012 Olympics in the early vote in error….other countries (notably the French) were doing tactical voting and it went wrong
I think she represented Switzerland...i don't think it matters where you come from in eurovision, it's still a load of rubbish
That opening ceremony was shambles - blokes with beards in frocks cavorting about does nothing but trivialise the whole event. I thought the fat blue bloke was our friend Westwood from down the M27 for a minute. The flotilla of mis-matched boats was like something from Dunkirk. Dreadful.
I’m loving the Aghan sisters competing in the cycling, against the wishes of the Taliban, as they want to represent the 20m women in Afghanistan. That’s proper Olympics.
Taliban can go **** themselves. Bet they were crowing about Afghanistan reaching the semi finals of the T20 world cup last month.

Rushed round this morning in order to catch Peaty’s race….bbc kept saying 8.40 when they meant 20.40. Grrrr
Delightfully, the Netherlands beach volleyball team just lost their first group game against Italy. I didn't hear anywhere near enough boos for that convicted child rapist (his name does not deserve to be mentioned).
Oh my. Murray and Evans just saved 5 consecutive match points and then won the match tiebreaker 11-9. Sir Andy Murray lives on!
