Does anyone have the original source for this document? It appears to have been translated from French, but its syntax is more franglish then french. If provided the original text, I would be more then happy to clean up the document.

Où est la source originale pour ce document? Il semble être traduit du Français. mais ce n'est pas de bon français. Si quelqu'un m'envoye le document original, Je serais heureux de le traduire propre.

It looks to me like this is a translation of the French Wikipedia article and just needs to be peer edited and polished up a bit. -- Frenchgeek 21:02, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC) -- Taking a closer look at this article, parts of it look as thought it was machine translated.

I came in and found this article hacked yesterday. I hope it has been fixed now.

[edit] Why did Paris lose?

Paris was the favourite all the way through. Could someone elaborate in the article the reason's for Paris's loss? - Hahnchen 01:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I thought that would have been obvious:- the french are rubbish. Chalk it up on the list: Agincourt, Trafalger, The Nile, Waterloo, Crecy......

Don't forget it was the Paralympic games too. I went to Paris in October 2004 with my nan who as in a wheelchair. I'm wondering it is to do with Paris' awful accessibility for the disabled. Mojo 16:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
