The Olys have always been vocalized in French and English. That wasn’t just a nod to the lunatic fringe, it was the rules.
“French and English are the official languages of the Olympic Movement. The other language used at each Olympic Games is the language of the host country. Every proclamation (such as the announcement of each country during the parade of nations in the opening ceremony) is spoken in these three languages, or the main two depending on whether the host country is an English or French speaking country.”
In this case, since Canada is both English and French speaking, we got time saved!
Since over two thirds of Canada is English speaking, and the Winter Olympics are being held in the Canadian Province of British Columbia, not Quebec, the intros should have been in English first, then French.
