Great view from the BBC studio!

were you spared the rest?! Long, no atmosphere, disjointed, each bit dragged out. Bring on the sport! Time to save money, reign it back focus on the sport not the location.

Be honest - did you guys really watch the whole show??!!

@BBCSport Dreadful show, glad you didn’t try to pretend you were impressed. Worst in the history of the games. Should have been held in the stadium. Imagine over a billion $ for that!

Let me shadow you for a day!! lol

@BBCSport Bonus is your nice and dry and warm lol

@BBCSport Watching at home....respect all those performing but just didn't 'feel' the atmosphere, sadly🫣

Amazing show tonight 👏🏽🥇🥈🥉

Shame the whole thing was a heap shit really, disrespecting the christian faith and then raising the flag upside down - could it have got any worse - yes it could Macron was there

Michael, who's your money on in the 100m sprint. Noah Lyles or Kishane Thompson ?

Did you like the ceremony Michael? (beware, Marie-Jo is among my followers)

Beautiful and I enjoyed it

I hope you can tell us what you really think about this shambles

show the view now

it is a real pleasure watching you on the BBC. thank you for sharing your wisdom

The french know how to do #LaserShows .

Getting psyched for track and field Michael.

It was good v v good! But get a fucking editor it dragged on an 46 min more than they had content for!

Wow, so cool 😃 & you got to stay dry too 🌧

C’est manifique!

Apart from Celine Dion, this is the only good thing from that tawdry, misogynistic vulgar excuse for an opening ceremony.

On a rainy night in Paris

Ahhhh, the BBC! Always the BEST!!

Well, they won Olympic gold in boring the public for 3 hours.

And Coco was chosen by per fellow athletics. Great choice!

Amazing, prime position

@BBCSport All I can see is hundreds of pickpockets lol

Greece was the best!!!

Worst Olympic opening ceremony ever. Garbage. Nonsense. Ridiculous. Stupid. French.

The French can be quite bonkers, can't they

Michael, who are you most excited to see at the games?

And you kept dry!!☔☔☔

@BBCSport But you didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about it right? Shame because it was brilliant!!! Who knew… a balloon and a horse on water… magic
