In 1948, London had the enormous responsibility of rekindling the Olympic flame, which had been extinguished for twelve years since Adolf Hitler’s party in 1936. .
Seventy-six years after the Olympic Games, France faces the huge challenge of correcting the unsustainable financial costs caused by cost overruns, long-term debt, and socioeconomic and environmental problems in recent decades.
These reasons have prompted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to commit to changing this trend starting from this Olympics. how? More rustic and ecological. From a macro level, he has clearly done this, because according to data provided by the French Olympic Committee, the 2024 Olympics will be the first time since the Sydney Olympics in 2000 that it will not exceed 10 billion US dollars. The effort helps the IOC show future venues that not everything will be unchecked costs and inherited white elephants.
Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
The French proposal looks more than just ecologically sustainable. That’s one of the keys to understanding these numbers. The most obvious example is that only one stadium will be built from scratch for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It is a bio-based water polo and diving aquatics center with low carbon emissions and energy use.
When it comes to sharpening pencils, the organization seems to be overlooking some “gross” details. The Olympic Village is the main target. The loudest voice in the Argentinian delegation was that of Santiago Gomez Cora, coach of the Los Pumas 7 team and a jewel of the organization: “What is popular is that there is no protein, whether the food is vegan or not, I Got that. We waited in line for 40 minutes to get a burger or any of the meats they offered.
There are many connecting points between the many delegations’ complaints, with food being the main issue. The American flag bearer at the opening ceremony, American Coco Gauff, also complained: “This time we have to let ten athletes share two bathrooms, which is unbelievable. Who had this good idea? Don’t they know that our time is very limited?” Is it valuable?
Some of the complaints raised by members of the Argentine delegation to PERFIL included a lack of air conditioning, building renovations and even curtains. “He doesn’t care much about the welfare of the athletes,” one person close to the Olympics told him.
Other athletes, such as Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, are reluctant to stay in the village, home to most of the more than 10,000 athletes seeking Olympic glory. Many people have to go through some inconveniences to achieve Olympic glory, which is highly unusual for elite sports, but it seems reasonable in the “no money” Olympics.
