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 still remember stories of Japanese fans during the WC cleaning their half of the stadium before leaving grounds.
