It's a match for France 24 English to post this video about the Olympics in 1924. And the athletic event is happenin' this year dubb'd 2024. What a match!🔵⚪🔴
My grandfather was on the French cycling team, he won a team gold and an individual bronze in Paris 1924. My dad competed in Melbourne '56, in Modern Pentathlon. The olympics are always a big deal in our family, but nowadays, it's disappointing, it's gotten political and ladden with doping, i don't plan on watching.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO PARIS AND PERFORM THE OLYMICS JUST LIKE IN 1924!!!! THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY AWSOME!!!! BUT I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH YOU AS WELL.
Olympic Village,🎉
Weren't they the seventh Olympics rather than the eighth?
Even thought they were cancelled, the 1916 games known as the Games of the VI Olympiad keep it's name and remain officially the 6th olympic games edition.
Wait. They’re still putting on the Olympics? I thought they stop those years ago.
Get back down on this planet, Neo.
