Bit odd. Apparently representing LA, the next host city.
Even odder - Flavor Flav is "official hype man" for the US women's water polo team.

No. Neither should football and a whole raft of other nonsense that has oversaturated the event.


The IOC are going to drive themselves into an LA 84 position in the not too distant future where they basically have to beg a city to take it.

Can't see having opening ceremonies outside of stadiums taking off as a permanent fixture.

I quite like this boat parade thing. Surprised how few competitors some quite large countries have.

The boat parade is a bit different, but the "special performances" are a bit shit.

Good to see them trying something different. Not a patch on 2012 though.

I certainly think it would spice up a pretty boring event, not sure the RSPCA or French/Olympic equivalent would agree though. Would be an interesting addition for all throwing events TBH
