Sweden's King and Queen arrived in Paris to support the Swedish Olympians in the 33rd Summer Games. King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, King Felipe, and Grand Duke Henri watched the men's pole vault final at the Stade de France in Paris. King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia congratulated Sweden's Armand Duplantis after he won the men's pole vault final and set a new world record. During the day, the King and Queen visited 'Sweden Arena' to congratulate Sarah Sjöström on her two Olympic gold medals.
Good to see King CG and Queen Silvia! Sweden has been doing well. I am sure the athletes appreciate their majesties support in person. One of the Swedish pole vaulters is amazing--watching him right now. I also Grand Duke Henri presenting medals last night I believe--his pleasure and excitement for the medalists was evident to see. Nice that King Felipe is back to watch his nations athletes--again, I am sure they appreciate his in person support.

They met Mondo and Super-Sarah!
ReplyDeleteNice to see King Carl Gustaf wearing trainers. On another site there is a photo of Queen Silvia wearing trainers.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a great occasion for the royals to dress down, have fun and meet up with their cousins.
Lots of smiles and a superb bubble gum blowing demonstration from the Dutch royal family.
Viva the Olympic Games.
Normally from to-morrow 7 August on, CP Elisabeth of Belgium, P GabrieL, P Emmanuel and P Eléonore will be present at the OG.
ReplyDeleteAny word from the Norwegians?
DeleteAnd the Finnish?
DeleteI read that the Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway’s son, Marius was arrested so there travel is delayed
DeleteAnd here a lot of us were concern it was related to her health. One report says the arrest is related to him “… allegedly had an incident involving a woman in her 20s on Aug. 4, … ‘[he] attacked her psychologically and physically,’ and she was treated at a hospital for a concussion.”
DeleteI will reframe from further opinion because I'm a firm believer in there being *3* sides to a story; "your side, my side, and *the truth*" which is usually somewhere in the middle. Still no excuse for physical violence however.
Ravie que le couple royal soit venu encourager ses sportifs !
ReplyDeleteThe real king here is Armand Duplantis!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the King and Queen of Sweden have arrived as well. css
ReplyDeleteI love the look on Felipe's face in that first photo. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are heartwarming! Supporting the athletes, just wonderful. I love the expressions on their Majesties faces, so excited and happy!
