Athletistic / Olympic Games. President of the Russian Artistic Gymnastics Federation Vasily Titov shared his opinion on the 2024 Summer Olympics to be held in Paris (France).

“Given the organization of the 2024 Olympic Games, everyone is worried about the opening ceremony. It was a unique event, because for the first time in the history of the Games, everything took place not in the stadium, but in the city. It turned out beautifully. But when you choose this form, you instantly become a hostage of the same time.

Overall, the picture turned out great, but then we move on to the content and details where the devil is hiding. And a few drops of tar turned this barrel of honey into a barrel of who knows what. The organizers acted extremely carelessly and recklessly. This was their big mistake. It does not emphasize the scale of what was done, but they did not think about it. Because of this, the image of France as a Christian country has suffered greatly,” Titov was quoted as saying by TASS.

The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics took place on July 26 in the center of the French capital. The parade of athletes took place in the waters of the Seine, and all the delegations were placed on 85 boats. Then began the theatrical performance, which was criticized at the end for a parody of the biblical story, depicted in the painting of the legendary Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci “The Last Supper”. Already on July 28, the organizing committee of the 2024 Olympic Games and the IOC press service apologized for some aspects of the opening ceremony.
