The quadrennial Olympics
It will be held on July 26 at 19:30 Beijing time (July 27 at 1:30 Beijing time) in Paris, France.
In 2024, it will be exactly 100 years since Paris last hosted the Olympic Games.
Although the event was held in beautiful Paris, France, France is also a truly developed country.
However, the various conditions provided by Paris for athletes are not high-end and perfect, and they have been complained about by all kinds of complaints.
The first spitting is that the accommodation conditions are too basic
This Olympics advocates green environmental protection.
A reporter investigated the accommodation of Chinese athletes at the Paris Olympics.
4 small rooms in a large suite,
There is also a bed and a sofa in the entrance living room, and the rest have two cardboard beds each, and one suite can accommodate 9 people.
Each room is separated by cardboard, 9 people share a sofa, two toilets + two shower rooms.
The board bed is 90 cm wide, made of paper, and you can support it in a while according to the prompts.
Even the stools are made of paper.
The mattress is foam,
The reporter sat down for an interview and tried it, and it felt very hard.
Although these can satisfy the accommodation, I am afraid that those who are big athletes should be a little more careful.
There are no wardrobes in the rooms, only open-air hangers, and there are a few rooms without balconies.
There is no air conditioning in the room, only an electric fan, and the house is western.
The small rooms, poor air circulation and poor accommodation in the Paris Olympic Village surprised the vice president of the Hong Kong Sports Federation & Olympic Committee, Fok Kai-kong.
Huo Qigang said in an interview:
"It's the first time I've had such a challenge."
"I really can't guess that I should bring my own air conditioner."
He also said that the temperature in Paris is high, and the Hong Kong delegation will bring its own air conditioning.
Why isn't the Olympic Village air-conditioned?
In fact, it is due to the fact that the temperature in Paris is not high.
But in the end, whether France is hot or not has become a metaphysical question.
Some bloggers in France said that the maximum temperature is still quite hot, and it is still necessary to install air conditioning.
But some bloggers whose IP is also in France said that the weather is very cold, and sometimes it is necessary to wear long coats and down jackets, and also send pictures for everyone to see.
The results of the weather forecast in Paris checked by domestic netizens on the Internet are that the temperature is not high and there is no need for air conditioning.
The average temperature in Paris in July and August is 25°, but this temperature is not constant, and sometimes there are heat waves, and last year France killed 5,000 people.
An important reason for not having air conditioning is that it is equipped with a cold water cooling system.
The Olympic Village will be "naturally cooled" with a water cooling system.
The water cooling system takes water cooled to 4°C from a well 70 meters underground from a nearby geothermal power plant and delivers it to pipes under the floor of each apartment.
This cold water should be able to reduce the temperature by 6°C to 10°C.
In addition, a third of the buildings in the Olympic Village have gardens on their roofs and a third have solar panels on their roofs, which can help cool the house.
There is also a walkway in the Olympic Village made of shells, which absorb rainwater, which evaporates in the air and also cools down.
There are also openings between the buildings that lead to the Seine, creating a wind tunnel that transports as much fresh air as possible to the Olympic Village.
But even so, many athletes can't accept not installing air conditioning.
Many athletes worry about not being able to sleep in the heat.
In the end, the Paris Organising Committee agreed to allow the delegation to purchase or lease air conditioners at their own expense.
More than 2,500 air conditioners have been ordered by delegations. The Chinese Olympic delegation has purchased 345 mobile air conditioners and shipped them to Paris.
Delegations United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia and others planned to use portable air conditioners.
In this regard, Korea's athletes expressed envy.
Korea table tennis player Tian Zhixi revealed in the live broadcast that the Korea Olympic delegation did not bring its own air conditioning to stay in the Olympic Village, and the national team issued "cooling shoulders" to the players.
Many people comforted her with concern: "If it's hot, go to China to rub the air conditioner."
However, it was reported that the Chinese Olympic delegates in Paris did not purchase air conditioners.
According to YA-SO, the Chinese Olympic delegation is located in a building with central air conditioning, and there is no need to purchase its own.
The rumored incident of bringing its own air conditioner was prepared by CCTV for the staff.
The number of air-conditioned buildings is relatively small.
The air conditioning is not because of the preferential treatment of the organizing committee, but because the building itself is designed as an office building, so it comes with central air conditioning.
Due to the large number of Chinese Olympic delegations, the leaders of the Chinese Olympic delegation negotiated with the Olympic Organizing Committee and finally won the building.
With only 6% of the population in Paris, most journalists and media live without air conditioning.
It is reported that the media team will go to 2,000 people.
Besides
The Chinese side also shipped more than 40,000 bottles of mineral water.
Hangzhou specially designed suitcases with terracotta elements for athletes.
24 Sichuan chefs arrived in Paris to guarantee meals for athletes.
Spit two: the water quality of the Seine in Paris
Unlike the previous Olympics, the opening ceremony was held on the river.
A total of 180 boats, 85 of which will transport nearly 10,000 athletes, will travel about 6 kilometers to the Eiffel Tower.
Around 2,000 artists will perform 12 stage plays, with an estimated 300,000 spectators on the banks of the Seine.
But the quality of the Seine is in doubt, and the water was previously inspected for E. coli levels that exceeded the limit by 10 times.
Since then, the water quality has improved.
France President Emmanuel Macron has promised to swim in the Seine, but has not yet swam it.
In order to prove the quality of the Seine, Paris Mayor Anne · Hidalgo bore the brunt of the storm, jumping into the Seine near Notre-Dame Cathedral and swimming 100 meters.
Hidalgo's comment was:
"The Seine is beautiful".
"The water quality is very good, it's just a little cool."
Through her comments, I really feel that the temperature in Paris is not high, and I wonder I have to install air conditioning.
Thirdly, the frequency of doping inspections for Chinese athletes is too high.
Yu Liang, a nutritionist of the Chinese national swimming team, posted:
In the 11 days he arrived in France, all 31 athletes were checked nearly 200 times by the International Doping Control Organization (ITA).
Check in the morning, take a break at noon, and check after 9 o'clock in the evening, and normal life is disrupted.
In order to cope with the inspection, the athletes sit directly in the hall and wait, which affects the rest.
