Paris's mayor, Anne Hidalgo, has swum in the Seine this week to reassure the open water swimmers it is safe, only time will tell. The triathlon event starts from a floating platoon.  The river on Friday will host the opening ceremony, the parade of boats starting at the Austerlitz Bridge.  It promises to be spectacular and this image got me rather excited.  Some of Team GB got on the train to Paris today and my stamp countries will also be on the way...

 Burundi will be sending a team of 7 (Athletics, Judo and Swimming)

Sao Tome et Principe has 3 (Athletics, Judo and Canoe/kayak sprint) 

Tanzania will be sending 7 (Athletics, Judo and Swimming)

New Zealand has a team of 215 with a wide variety of sports.

This is a nice tour of 60 years of Olympic stamps. I will have to look out for Sao Tome's three athletes.

It would be nice that countries with few participants get at least a medal!
