How the Paris Olympics went and why Tom Cruise had to save the closing ceremony Bashny.Net

Just a few days ago ended the 33rd Summer Olympic Games of our time, the capital of which was the city of Paris. During 16 competitive days, many medals were won and many records were broken. But today, when the emotions have calmed down a little, we will tell you what the closing of the Olympics-2024 was and how it will be remembered.

In fact, it is worth admitting that, like many other large-scale events, the Olympics in Paris did not pass without curiosities, scandals and other memorable events. And it all started with the opening. Here the organizers tried to surprise. Instead of the traditional parade in the stadium, teams rode boats and boats on the Seine. This has never happened before. The rain just ruined my mood a little.



The rain caused another scandal. The fact that the competition in triathlon (a sport that includes swimming for a distance of 1.5 km in open water) was to begin on the Seine. Before the start of the Games, organizers spent more than a billion euros to clear the river. But after the rain, the water was again unsuitable for competition.



Instagram had to postpone the start and try a little more, until finally the strongest in this form was determined. However, the Canadian triathlete still became very ill after the end of the competition. Not too pleasant pictures spread around the world. Other athletes also said that the water in the river is terrible and even claimed that someone picked up E. coli.

Of course, it was not without various funny stories that conquered the world. For example, the real meme was the Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikech. The man competed in shooting and even won silver on the team. But everyone noticed that he did not shoot with special glasses, and the second hand was in his pocket.



In the Network Yusuf was compared to the father, who decided to shoot at banks somewhere behind garages. Dikech's photographs became so popular that even other athletes celebrated their victories by copying the Turkish shooter. For example, so noted his gold and world record in pole jumping Swede Armand Duplantis.



By the way, in this form there was another curious case. One of Duplantis’s competitors, Frenchman Antoni Ammirati, has almost reached a height of 5.7 meters. But, unfortunately, I hit the bar with my sexual organ. Footage of this moment flew around the world. Ammirati even got an offer to star in an adult film.

Well, how about scandals at such big starts? For example, even before the start of the Games in Paris, the legendary Brazilian footballer Zico, who came as part of the delegation of his country, was robbed. The man sat in the front seat of the taxi, and left his briefcase in the back.

At one point, someone approached the driver, distracting the attention of the 71-year-old legend. Meanwhile, an accomplice stole a briefcase containing Role money and watches. In total, the ex-player estimated his damage at 500 thousand euros.



Instagram was also scandalous story at the opening of the Games associated with the painting “Last Supper”. More precisely, it was a parody performed by transgender people. As a result, many Christians around the world were offended by this view of the classic plot.

Continuing the topic, we can not forget about boxers from Algeria and Taiwan. Until recently, they were not allowed to enter the World Cup because women did not pass some gender test. But at the Olympics, they did. It seemed to many that these are transgender individuals, which means that their performance at the Games is disrespectful to other athletes, because the conditions, to put it mildly, are not equal.



In their speeches, representatives of the IOC said that these boxers were born women, raised as women and received a passport of women, and therefore legally compete with women. Moreover, the Algerian woman could not change her gender, because in her country it is illegal. Her father, after scandals in the press, showed the birth certificate of his daughter, which states that she is a woman.

Many journalists admitted that the last chord of the Games in Paris was very sad. In the sense that watching the 3-hour show wasn't that interesting. It was more traditional, in the stadium. Some athletes were in a hurry to take their places, others, on the contrary, were in no hurry, so at some point the push began.



There was some kind of performance dedicated to the Olympics and everyone who decided to revive this ancient tradition. Various groups also spoke. But perhaps the main highlight was the transfer of the Olympic flag. The next Games will be held in Los Angeles.



So Hollywood actor Tom Cruise took part in this ceremony. Despite his venerable age (the legend is 62 years old), he went down to the stadium from the roof, and even rode a motorcycle. As you know, throughout his career, Tom himself performed stunts in paintings, so there was nothing new for him.



Instagram: The next Olympics have come to an end. Perhaps it will be especially memorable for someone. For example, for a child who has discovered a new sport, which he will start. Others are sure to forget about most of the twists and turns of this event, because it has already become history.
