Description

It’s one day to go until the Paris 2024 Paralympics! We are back in Paris, which means we have more (mis)adventures to share with you. We’re in a new hotel, we have a new Main Press Center, and we’ve been to some interesting events. Alison saw a sneak preview of the Opening Ceremonies and has a full report. Meanwhile, Jill checked off another Olympic swimming pool with a visit to the Georges Vallerey Piscine, swimming venue for the Paris 1924 Olympics.

 

What’s a Games without anyone to cheer for? We have a whole roster of Team Keep the Flame Alive members (past guests of the show), who compete for TKFLASTAN (our own country).
