The Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony has received a lot of criticism from the media around the world after a few days. Many audiences around the world have bluntly called this the most disastrous opening ceremony in the history of the modern Olympics. Not stopping there, recently, the clip of this controversial opening ceremony was also recorded as “disappearing”.
On the official YouTue channel of the Olympics with 12.6 million followers, netizens discovered that the clip reviewing the highlights of the Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony has been completely hidden by the Organizing Committee. When clicking on the link, the audience will receive a message: “This video is not available”. Meanwhile, the full version of the opening event of the London 2012, Rio 2016, Beijing 2022, and even Nagano 1998 Olympics are still available.
Not stopping there, some units also began to withdraw sponsorship from the Paris Olympics 2024 after controversial religious clashes in the framework of the opening ceremony. Network operator C’Spire announced: “We are shocked by the desecration of the Last Supper in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. We are gradually withdrawing advertising from this Olympics…”.
Many brands, units, and individuals around the world have continuously criticized the Paris Olympics 2024 Organizing Committee for turning the opening ceremony, which is awaited by billions of people, into such a “disaster”.
It is not difficult to understand why the Olympics had to delete the above highlight clip, when the wave of anger and criticism of the opening ceremony spread globally, severely affecting the Organizing Committee.
