Like many here I had an amazing time following the Paris 2024 Olympics, and it was a privilege to have this opportunity to display our capital and country to the world.
The Tokyo Olympics were in my opinion the most forgettable ones in recent times, unfortunately a lot of what made Paris 2024 an international success couldn’t happen there because of Covid restrictions.
The pandemic robbed the Japanese of a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase their culture and country, and the rest of us were robbed of the opportunity to enjoy the Tokyo Olympics the way they were meant to be.
I mean, in Tokyo, they prioritized athletes’ safety, and in Paris, they were openly spreading COVID, had athletes hospitalized, and had various athletes collapsing on their various fields of play. I think it’s kind of shame that has been allowed to happen.
