#2024 olympic metal horse

[yandere-wishes]

I AM OBSESSED WITH THEM!!! They are literally everything!!

"Parade" and "Higher", composed by Victor Le Masne, performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra

This is for those going through Olympic withdrawal. French composer Victor Le Masne was tasked with composing music for both the Olympic and Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies this year as the Paris 2024's musical director. The Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra was also used to play the original music composed for the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.

Here are two pieces you may have heard most over the last two weeks – and will continue to hear during the upcoming Paralympics. The first, "Parade", played over the medal ceremonies across the Olympics. The second piece here, "Higher" (here is a shorter "club mix" that was played at venues across the Games), was played during the extended journey of a masked rider galloping across the Seine on a metallic horse during the Opening Ceremony.

Le Masne wanted to build a musical bridge between contemporary and older pop/electronica/disco (the rhythmic complexities found in the final minutes of this piece) and classical music (the acoustic elements) across his soundtrack to the Olympics and Paralympics.

Sophie : Swimming (France Representative)

Sophie is from the Beyblade Metal Saga.

I imagine her doing multiple types of swimming, or maybe even all of them, kinda like Léon Marchand.

Also I love how in the very first episode where we saw her (The Festival of Warriors ; Episode 67 of the Metal Saga (16 of Metal Masters)), she say that she hates being wet, and yet in another episode we see her swimming !

Freddy Fazbear : Weight Lifting (United States Representative)

Made on Thursday August 8th.

Since August 8th marks 10 Years of Fnaf, I decided to do the iconic mascot in the Olympic Games, as both happens at the same time !

Also USA because it is inspired by Chuck'&'Cheese which is American, like it is heavily implied as well for Fnaf.

I'm actually proud for the horse because I'm not used to draw animals like that, even today.

Also this idea was given to me by my wonderful friend @emilie_nct on Instagram ! ♥

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think we can see some evolution in 3 years, what do you think ?

*Olympic opening ceremony - Paris 2024*

At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, a spectacular and unprecedented spectacle captivated spectators present and those from around the world: a metal horse launched majestically on the Seine.

This performance, which combined technology and symbolism, offered an unforgettable moment, anchoring the ceremony in the history of major Olympic celebrations. Designed by a team of renowned sculptors and engineers, the horse was an imposing piece of art, both beautiful and powerful. Measuring several meters in height and length, this animated sculpture stood out for its neat details and futuristic look. Covered in shiny steel plates and equipped with a sophisticated movement system, the horse seemed almost alive, with a smooth and elegant gait. Its reflective surface captured the light from spotlights and fireworks, creating a stunning visual spectacle. A highlight of the ceremony was the arrival of the metal horse on the Seine. Emerging from the mist, the horse advanced gently on a specially designed floating platform. Its progress along the river, against the backdrop of the iconic monuments of Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, symbolized an alliance between the past and the future, the classical and the modern.

The horse, a mythological figure and an emblem of strength and freedom, embodied the spirit of the Olympic Games, uniting peoples and celebrating human achievements. Choosing a horse for the event was no trivial matter. Indeed, the horse is a universal symbol of power, courage and nobility, essential qualities in sport and in life. The metallic version of this noble creature added a dimension of modernity and technology, recalling the advances of our time while honoring traditions. The show illustrated the theme of the opening of the Games, which is focused on unity and progress. The metallic horse raced down the Seine to the cheers of the audience and the marvel of the spectators, marking the beginning of an evening full of surprises and emotions.

This performance not only celebrated art and innovation, but also conveyed a message of peace and solidarity, true to Olympic ideals. The images of the brilliant horse moving gracefully through the waters of Paris will be remembered as one of the most memorable moments of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

~Good vibes~~

Funniest Reactions To Wild Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

The Paris Olympics opening ceremony had it all, and people are… processing. The ceremony, billed as one of the most ambitious ever, featured a parade of boats along the Seine, with a series of fun and quirky shows along the banks as well as some prerecorded segments. It replaced the typical format of a parade of nations inside a stadium. Athletes, some wearing ponchos over their uniforms, kept their spirits high despite rainy weather, waving from their boats. Lady Gaga stunned with a very va-va-voom rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire’s Mon Truc En Plumes on a set of stairs by the river, surrounded by enormous plumes of pink feathers. In another segment, headless women dressed in red — representing the ill-fated queen of France, Marie Antoinette — appeared in the windows of a grand building amid bursts of fire and an energetic performance by heavy metal band Gojira. This was followed by opera music. Elsewhere, dancers in pink, including a woman dressed as a croissant, partied in the streets. There was also a catwalk showcasing out-there French designs, and at one point, a semi-naked blue man — French singer Philippe Katerine — sang as he lay on a plate of fruit and flowers on the runway. Also, Minions. And in one prerecorded bit, apparently the beginning of a ménage à trois? Throughout the show, viewers were shown clips of a hooded figure carrying the Olympic torch, leaping and bounding across Parisian rooftops, in a nod to The Phantom of the Opera. Towards the end of the night, a silver rider bearing the Olympic flag on a mechanical horse appeared to gallop down the Seine, eventually delivering the flag to be hoisted at Place du Trocadero. As the Olympic torch approached its final destination, the Eiffel tower beamed out a dazzling light show. After the cauldron was lit, Celine Dion brought the night to a magnificent end with an electrifying comeback performance perched on the Eiffel Tower. As the ceremony played out, some viewers were delighted by the French-ness of it all. Others took issue with the boat parade format. Some simply had no idea what was happening. “WHAT IS GOING ON,” one user wrote, sharing a clip of the Marie Antoinette moment. “A beheaded Marie Antoinette is one of the wildest and craziest things ever at the Olympics,” said another. “Impressed that the French planned their Olympic ceremony and decided ‘and then we’re gonna show off one of our main cultural exports, the ménage a trois!’ and then they did,” another commenter posted. See some of the other reactions below. if you’re not watching the olympic opening ceremony the main torchbearer is a masked vigilante wearing keens and les miserables-style revolutionary rags who entered on a boat to the phantom of the opera theme and is now doing parkour around paris to techno. extremely french — molly taft (@mollytaft) July 26, 2024 “Then Marie Antoinette’s head will segue us into a sequence celebrating the ménage a trois…” — Matt Bevan (@MatthewBevan) July 27, 2024 Check out HuffPost’s live coverage of the opening ceremony highlights here.

Gregory Wathelet's Winning Ways Continue in the$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4*

Thermal California, USA – March 17, 2024– Formerly it was not the plan to move Kristalic, owned by Morning Star Sporthorses, into the FEI ranks for the last week of Desert Circuit. However, the horses preferred the sand ring, so Forensic 4* actions it was due to the way the schedule turned out. And with Gregory Wathelet ( BEL ) aboard, the horse walked away with a second victory of the week in Sunday’s$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4*, proving he’s a top contender for the higher levels.

” It was not the program at the beginning to do the FEI”, Wathelet said of Kristalic‘s schedule. We decided it was better to do the 1. 45m on sand than the 1. 40m National on turf when we saw it was on dust. Three weeks ago, we attempted to jump on the lawn, but it was ưnsuccessful. He has greatly improved, I may suggest. He’ȿ really comfortable on the top because he’s really careful. Maybe he needs to believe that he can hop this far.

In second in the$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4* was Kaitlin Campbell ( USA ) aboard Conova, owned by Sweet Oak Farm, while Vani Khosla ( USA ) secured third with Incitatus.

While Karrie Rufer is waiting for her first child, Wathelet rode aboard Kristalic and several other Morning Star Sporthorses-owned saddles. With each of Rufer’s excursions, Wathelet has produced outstanding results.

The 9-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion ( Arezzo VDL x Baltic VDL ) has a big heart, which makes him attractive, Wathelet explained. ” He’s a very good horse. I’m not certain what he’ll do in the end, but Karrie may enjoy himself when she takes over.

Some top users think about their chances before they even buy them for their string, so the plan for making an Paralympic team far in advance.

” I’m happy now I have two wonderful horses”, he said of his best two, Bond Jamesbond de Hay and Ace Of Hearts, a horse that jumped in Thermal in 2023. I believe we have a good opportunity of progressing. I have planned a programme since December for my primary horses, Jamesbond. He has already demonstrated that he is capable of doing great things at the next show, but I still need to feel confident that he is well-fit to go, otherwise I wo n’t even go to the Olympics to watch him.

The French club has been a popular horsȩ for a while, and Wathelet claįms that they are in a bit of a development stage, especially as theįr present horses get older.

” I think Belgium has been quite nice the past seven or eight years”, he expressed. ” We are at a place where some animals are a little bit older, like mine, Nevados S, Jerome]Guery ]’s Quel Homme de Hus, and a few others that have retired. We have a fresh set oƒ animals. Although it’s not as powerful as it was the year before, I believe we can form a strong team. There are some very solid riders in Belgiμm, but perhaps not enough animals for championships. If not this year, animals will start arriving quickly enough to compete at that Ievel.

Nevertheless, Wathelet’s season has ƀeen successful, with the last week’s final week leading to several horses and earning valuable miles and caȿh prizes.
