Judoka bronze medalist at the Paris Olympics Theodoros Tselidis In an interview with , he said he was surprised by the opening ceremony of the 2024 Games.
The opening ceremony of the Games in Paris took place on July 26 on the Seine, for the first time in history it took place outside the stadium. The event was criticized for its poor organization, as well as for some scenes, including a parody of the biblical story “The Last Supper.”
— You were at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. How do you like it?
“I didn’t know it would take place on the water.” It was only later that I realized that we had arrived at the port and not at the stadium. I was surprised because it was strange. Greece is also usually always the first to go to the opening ceremony. We were on these boats, there were many famous athletes, for example, I was traveling with NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo.
If we talk about the opening itself, I saw it later during the broadcast. Everything that happened there was strange. I liked the process itself, when we were sailing on a boat, because I literally saw all of Paris. I can’t judge the rest; there were many controversial issues. The parody of “The Last Supper” and flirting with the agenda surprised me a lot. The only plus was Snoop Dogg,” Tselidis told .
In 2018, North Ossetian native Fedor Tselidi decided to play for the Greek national team under the name Theodoros Tselidis. In Paris, he became an Olympic bronze medalist.
The Olympic Games in the French capital will end on August 11.
