Få det fulde overblik over de første dage af OL i Paris, vinylplader, og hvorfor en fisk i en dybde kan være du og mig!

Den 27. juli blev OL i Paris skudt i gang med pomp og pragt, og alle øjne var rettet mod de fantastiske atleter, som skal kæmpe om æren og goldmedaljerne. En af stjernerne, der trådte ind i rampelyset, var Katie Ledecky, som tidligere har vundet guld og nu jagter endnu en medalje i sin quest for en rekord-brydende ottende guldmedalje. For ikke at tale om den amerikanske hjerteknuser Adam Peaty, som med sin optræden i poolen vinder publikums hjerter og entusiasme blandt fansen.

Dagen starter med et brag af en åbningsceremoni vel vidende, at det vil regne, men det stilner ikke folkeslagene, som samles i Paris. Fra svømning til gymnastik og til de mere spændende sportsgrene som skateboarding, er der noget for enhver smag! Vi peger på flere utrolige præstationer fra datoen, som har set USA tage den første guldmedalje i mændenes 4x100 meter stafet med et fantastisk hold af svømmere.

Desuden boltrer danskere sig nu i medaljekampen – denne gang ikke kun fra sportens verden, men også fra det populære musiksegment! Det hævdes, at der vil være en særlig kollektion af vinylplader, der vil rumme musik fra OL, hvilket kunne være vejen til at hylde danske og internationale kunstnere, der engagerer sig i dette store event.

Og mens Ledecky modtager bronze i 400 meter fri, må hun nu dele rampelyset med den kommende generation, der ser op til hende som en inspiration - alt imens den kinesiske delegation også beviser, at de har mange talenter at byde på. Dette OL bliver straks en af de mest mindeværdige, og arrangørerne lover at levere en oplevelse i verdensklasse, der vil få selv de skønneste måger til at danse med!

Vidste du, at Katie Ledecky har vundet fem guldmedaljer ved de tidligere OL? Hun betragtes som en af de bedste svømmere i historien. Og i skrivende stund er der også rygtet, at LeBron James vil spille med i held og velstand fra sin egen bane under OL, hvilket for de fleste ville være et syrealistisk samarbejde – men hey, i Paris er alting muligt!

Så hold dig opdateret for flere medaljer, både i svømning og i skøjteløb, men også fra de bidragende musikere, der vil understøtte den olympiske ånd i et land, hvor crepes og evig fest er en kunstform! Kalder du på vin fra hver verdenshjørne, vil OL-oplevelsen være intet mindre end magisk!
