Serena Williams spoke for millions of disappointed Olympic fans as she pulled an anguished face during the opening ceremony.
The tennis star looked worse for wear as she rode down the River Seine on a high-speed boat as a torch bearer for the Paris games.
She was joined by Rafael Nadal, nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis, and former Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci as they made their way through driving rain and choppy waters.
The boat was part of a four-hour ceremony centred around the French capital's river and it was going so fast that Nadal fretted that the flame might go out.
Williams seemed to have been enjoying the ride as she waved to fans, but she suddenly gasped and needed to quickly grab onto Comancei to keep steady.
People watching footage of the four-time Olympic gold medallist commented that they thought she looked like she might be sick and that she looked like how people felt watching the controversial opening.
One person said online: 'This is how the rest of us felt watching it.'
Someone else said online: 'She hated it as much as everyone else!'
Another quipped: 'She saw the rest of the opening ceremony.'

Anti-Catholic Williams doesn’t speak for me.
Probably seasick after bouncing over the clumps of turds in the water.
Who is responsible for this fiasco?
“Who is responsible for this fiasco?”
Je blâme les Français!

And NBC dispicably replayed the whole abomination AGAIN at 7:30 last night......just make sure as many people were offended as possible I guess.
As for us, we will NOT be tuning in the olympics....disgusting
well, all 12 of their viewers were probaBLY sloshed and not too with it- so maybe they didn’t even see it once
Why do they keep trotting out Serena Williams? Yes her tennis excellence is without doubt but she is not a likeable woman.
Same here. I will never watch it, or any other sports venue again.
Because she is black? Just guessing here.
Satan!
