Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronique Stepanova shared his impressions of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Games in Paris took place on Friday on the banks of 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.”
— Many people condemned the opening of the Olympic Games. But this spectacle had nothing to do with the sporting event: it simply used a well-promoted brand. It was not the athletes who were making faces in front of the cameras, the athletes were just extras on the boats.
It’s like celebrating a child’s birthday by inviting adult friends and drinking alcohol: the child is just an excuse and has no right to vote.
Now, if and when athletes will be the main actors in the process, everything will be completely different! Can you imagine a “show” like in Paris, during the UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia or in the Emirates? Me neither, – Stepanova wrote on the Telegram channel .
The Paris Olympics will last until August 11, Russian athletes will compete in neutral status without national symbols.
