Russian middleweight boxer Vadim Tukov said what he saw at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony discouraged him from following what was happening at the Games.
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Games took place on Friday on the banks of the Seine, for the first time in history it took place outside the stadium. Participants in the parade of delegations were placed on 85 boats, which sailed along the Seine from the Pont d’Austerlitz to the Trocadéro. The event was criticized for its poor organization, as well as for some scenes, including a parody of the biblical story “The Last Supper.” On Sunday, the Games organizing committee apologized at a press conference for some aspects of the ceremony.
— It’s good that I didn’t watch the entire opening of the Olympic Games. Later, I heard a lot about it and saw excerpts on social networks. This situation upset me. After that, the desire to watch the entire Olympic Games disappears. This is not about sports at all, or even politics. Some kind of obscurantism, unacceptable at this level, I think, “Tukov told .
The Paris Olympics will last until August 11. 15 Russians are participating in the competition, competing under a neutral flag.
