Medalist at the Beijing Olympic Games Victoria Sinitsina dancing in ice dancing with Nikita Katsalapov called the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris a circus.
The ceremony took place on Friday on the Seine, the first time in history that it took place outside the stadium. Participants in the parade of delegations were placed on 85 boats, which sailed along the river from the Pont d’Austerlitz to the Trocadéro. The event was criticized for its poor organization as well as for some scenes.
– Sorry… But I’m just bombarded. Where is all this going? When did the Olympics become a circus? Where is the real confrontation between talented athletes? In principle, I didn’t even want to watch the opening or say anything, but when I saw these videos, everything started to worry me! It devalues everything that athletes and other Olympic host countries have done over the years. What’s in people’s heads… some kind of propaganda.
Maybe someone will disagree with me, but… this is not normal, my friends! — Sinitsina wrote in Telegram channel .
The Olympic Games will end on August 11.
Sinitsina and Katsalapov are Olympic silver medalists, world, European and Russian champions in ice dancing.
