Gosh, terribly sorry. I wonder how strict they are with purchases? My hunch is that a lot of these tickets are being bought by scalpers and then we be resold for even more next year.

I'm with you on escaping Paris during the games. I can not imagine. Even where we live, several teams are hosted out here to use the local pool for training.

So, we have also decided to go to your country house. :-)

Ah, the French. Anyone who’s ever joined, tried to join, or tried to run an association in France knows there will be infighting. Everyone wants to lead. While I’m happy for the rugby, the money spent on hosting the Olympics could’ve been spent finding solutions to the homeless problem.

Agreed one hundred percent. The Olympics is an egregious waste of money and an enormous burden on the host cities. To what benefit?

My wish is that they would just pick one permanent host city for the Summer Games, and then everyone contributes a little to the infrastructure and maintenance. Otherwise, much of this money is wasted!
