Athletistic/OI-2024. Andrei Chesnokov, 1995 Davis Cup finalist, commentated on the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

“I watched the opening of the Olympic Games and saw no connection with the Games themselves. Some moments caused me perplexity and even disgust. The production, which parodied The Last Supper, shocked me – it was clearly an insult to the feelings of believers. It seems to me that this is not something that should be shown to the whole world.

Then they mixed the Olympic flag and the teams of South Korea and the DPRK. I understand that a lot of work has been done, but the preparation needs to be better. I hope that what we saw at the ceremony is not a reflection of the future of humanity.

They wanted to be remembered and they succeeded. Paris hosted the Olympic Games 100 years ago, and if you look at pictures or postcards and posters that have survived, it is really impressive and shows the real Olympic legacy. It is difficult to say what will remain of these Games,” Chesnokov said in an interview with TASS.
