Stade de France proved to be adaptable and versatile - much more than Wembley, or the London 2012 Olympic stadium.
Track/field sports, football/rugby - are all easily accommodated, quickly. The lighting/ fireworks display was magical.
Paris OLYMPICS opened so many boxes! Changed the traditions/use of historic venues - instead of buildings5⁵.
Smiling then at themselves...and now. Reminding Hollywood of the bar. Even Tom Cruise won't get over that... |

After a bold opening ceremony - the Olympics has been extremely good and unique.
May well be a very rare Olympics to make a profit, or break even.
Simply by using the river and historic landmarkks - all existing Parisien sites.
Other hosts weren't so financially astute (Rio/Athens/Sydney/London) - building new facilities, at enormous cost. |
