'Carrying the air conditioner on your back to the race'
This is one of the wonders that will go down in history at the Paris Olympics
The air conditioning problem was widely complained about by netizens
It is considered to be a sign of 'shabby' and 'hypocrisy' in Western countries
I think they're just thinking about making a 'windfall'
He doesn't care about the life or death of athletes
Even unceremoniously called them 'profiteers'
However, the volunteers who went to Paris suddenly expressed a different opinion
This can't help but make netizens' eyelids jump
Hiss - are we really wrong?
01
Recently, a volunteer from Zhejiang Province spoke out for Paris online
Said he was working in Paris for a few days
It wasn't as hot as everyone thought
Less need for air conditioning
France is also understandably not air-conditioned
At the same time, another volunteer echoed the same sentiment
Says France though does not prepare air conditioning
But it made a floor cooling system for the room
The water of the Seine does not only flow through pipes to cool down
It also brings a cool breeze to the Olympic Village
Immediately afterwards, someone posted the local temperature table
He said that he had lived in Paris for many years
The average temperature in the summer is really not high
It is basically maintained at about 25 degrees
It's the south of France that's really hot
After all, Paris has a mild maritime climate
There is also the Seine River to regulate the temperature
The hottest days of the year are 20 days
Therefore, in addition to large office buildings and shopping malls
Ordinary houses are not air-conditioned
And in addition to the effects of the climate
This also has a lot to do with their pursuit of beauty
Paris is a city full of literary style
Both the building and the streets have a certain history
The air conditioner exterior unit will affect the overall style architecturally
Making Paris 'nondescript'
As soon as these remarks came out, the Internet immediately exploded
What? Not hot in Paris?
Are we the 'clowns' who go out with air conditioning?
02
At this time, Paris Ruko couldn't sit still
Directly use personal experience to answer questions and solve doubts for netizens
Not hot in Paris? That's a joke
If you only look at the average temperature, you can draw conclusions
Guangzhou is also the existence of Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant all year round
Ariko has experienced more than 40 degrees in Paris for more than half a month
It's only been two weeks
The heat wave alone took 15,000 people in Europe
The interior of Paris is magical
The fountain pools in every park are filled with people
Dumplings are served one after the other
There are almost no people on the streets
This is because many cars do not have air conditioning in their interiors
Even the people who drove private cars were naked
There are only a lot more people who don't buy things and just rub the air conditioner
Everyone sat on the floor
Packed with large shopping malls with central air conditioning
From the time people open the door to the time they get off work
Why are Parisian houses uneasy about air conditioning?
What is for the sake of beauty and not need is an excuse
The real reason is actually superficial
Who doesn't want to keep their room at the right temperature?
But the air conditioning itself is expensive
There are also installation costs, maintenance costs, electricity costs, and various taxes
The vast majority of ordinary families in Paris simply cannot afford it
Don't they want to?
They can't!
There may only be 20 hot days of the year
Many people don't feel the need to pay a high price for it
But in fact, the France themselves know the heat
It has been reported before
There are 15,000 military personnel in charge of security for the Olympic and Paralympic Games
The France army built temporary shelters for them in Paris
This is despite the fact that the Olympics do not provide air conditioning to athletes
But the France army is more double-standard
Large refrigeration equipment was provided for their own camp
Hopefully, the security personnel will get a good rest
And the standards of athletes are more refined
They are not the same as ordinary people
As the saying goes, 'If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold'
For ordinary people, 26 degrees is perhaps the most comfortable resting environment
But for athletes
They all need to follow all the habits they have formed
People are personalized
Different environments bring different body sensations
Everyone's reaction is different
For example, United States fencer Carter once said
I am used to being in a temperature of 20.5 degrees
It's cold winter
It will even allow the windows to balance the room heating
It can be seen that the temperature regulation system is actually very important
This is also the fundamental reason why many countries 'go on the expedition with air conditioning on their backs'
It's one thing to use it or not
But whether there is or not is another matter
We can't be reduced to being like Korea
Let's get by wearing an 'ice shoulder'
We all know that Thailand and Korea do not have air conditioning
A few days ago, Thailand table tennis player Jinnipa released a video
Called the training too hot
Not only is there no air conditioning indoors, but there is also no air conditioning in the car
I was very envious of the Chinese delegation, which had air conditioning and a cook
I even want to rub a bowl of bean stewed noodles
This appeal is entirely understandable
After all, even Korea eats pickles for a meal
They all brought their own cooks to improve the diet of the athletes
It's enough to see how indigestion the Parisian diet really is
On this point, there are also volunteers from the Paris Olympics who have expressed their opinions
Just yesterday, a student shared his lunch online
Definitely a 'hard dish'
Netizens looked at the dry baguette in the hands of the volunteers
I felt my teeth through the screen
Sympathy was expressed for the volunteers
To say that this is definitely a baguette that is even drier than the dry old man's dry lunch
It turns out that it's not just athletes who suffer
Even volunteering is not easy
Not only exercised skills
I also unexpectedly exercised my teeth
It can be seen that the logistics of supporting the Olympic athletes must not be sloppy
Guaranteeing the quality of their rest and diet is a must
It's not that we're picky when we go with air conditioning
It's about being prepared for a good performance
After all, the mainland is not the only air-conditioned delegation
03
The first to propose air conditioning was actually United States
A spokesman for the United States Olympic Organizing Committee said
Provide a comfortable rest environment for athletes
is a very high priority event
After all, this will indirectly affect the performance of the athlete on the field
Based on this
Germany, Australia, Italy, and United Kingdom followed
Coincidentally, the 'Autonomous Olympics' were carried out
If United States is not familiar with climate change in Paris
So why should Germany and Italy, both in Western Europe, do this extra thing?
It's just 'not afraid of 10,000, just in case'
And the 300 air conditioners spread on the Internet also have another hidden secret
They are not for athletes
The mainland Olympic delegation did not purchase Gree air conditioners
Because the delegation is huge
After consultation with the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games
Directly settled in the office building with central air conditioning
There is no need to bring your own air conditioning
Those with the delegation to Paris air-conditioned
In fact, it is for front-line media reporters
Because the air-conditioning penetration rate in Paris is only 6%
The conditions in the Media Village are slightly better than those in the Olympic Village
But still only a small fan was provided to the staff
Take into account the living conditions of the journalists
CCTV specially sent a cool summer breeze to the staff
At this point, we must give credit to CCTV
After all, it's really scary to get hot in Paris
In the history of France
Every year in August, Paris has a hot death event
And the time of the Olympics competition
July 26 to August 11 is the 'heat wave' in France
According to data from Météo-France in France
Since 2010
France experienced a total of 22 heat waves
Almost every year, it goes through a period of high temperatures
It's not August yet
Summer temperatures can be unpredictable
There is a real threat of high temperatures
This is also the main reason why the France army purchased 3,000 air conditioners
To put it bluntly, Paris just doesn't want to spend that money
After all, if you want to provide air conditioning for the entire Olympic Village and the Media Village
This alone will cost 150 million
For France, where even the playing field can be saved
It's a bit of a 'stressful mountain'
epilogue
When it comes to economic interests
Environmental protection is indeed a good excuse to prevaricate
But under the purpose of running the Olympics frugally
France does not have the strength to provide air conditioning
The Olympic Organizing Committee also used its brains to come up with a floor cooling system to try its best to make up for it
It's also more attentive
