Preface:
The Paris Olympics actually made a lot of trouble because of the air conditioning and single beds! What the hell is going on? Don't you want to come and see it?
Body:
Speaking of the Paris Olympics, the matter about air conditioning has really exploded on the Internet! At the beginning, when I heard that the Chinese team was going to purchase and install air conditioners by themselves, many people couldn't help but complain. Someone said: "Oh, the temperature in Paris, what kind of air conditioning do you want, athletes are here to compete, not to enjoy, don't be so squeamish!" But the other group of people didn't see it that way, and they muttered in their hearts: "Hmph, isn't the Paris Olympics claiming to have spent $8 billion, why don't you even install an air conditioner?" If it is a hot day, will the athlete still be able to sleep well? Can you play in good shape? The Chinese team brought their own air conditioning, which is definitely a wise move! ”
Later, as soon as the Olympic Village opened, hey, the truth was revealed! The United States team and the Australia team actually bought mobile air conditioners and installed them. After the United States women's volleyball team moved into the Olympic Village, they casually posted a photo of their room. And guess what? There is a mobile air conditioner in the middle of the twin beds! This time it can be made clear, it is not the hypocrisy of the athletes of our Chinese team at all, but the fact that most of the national teams are like mirrors in their hearts, and it is not okay to have no air conditioning in Paris!
You see, of the 207 delegations, a total of 7 countries have their own air conditioning, such as United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany and so on. There were still many people who didn't believe it and felt that this data was unreliable.
So why are there so many national teams with air conditioners? There are so many doorways to go here! This has to be explained in detail from the strength of the national team, the number of participants and the events participated. If you think about it, delegations like China, United States, and Australia have a frightening number of participants, and the competition time is long, from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony, there are their athletes fighting the field! So, they have to think about everything, and they have to install an air conditioner.
However, in some delegations, only a few or a dozen people came, and the projects they participated in ended early. You said, do they find it too troublesome to buy and install air conditioners for such a small number of people? I guess I'm thinking: "Forget it, it's okay!" ”
But ah, compared to the air conditioner, the single bed is the real big joke! If you look at the photos of the United States women's volleyball team, the bed is 2 meters long and 1.2 meters wide. Oh my God, can a tall girl like the women's volleyball team sleep comfortably? The organizers of the Paris Olympics also said unashamedly: "If you think the bed is too short and you are tall, you can use a mobile wooden bench to lengthen it." "What is this called! They didn't think about volleyball and basketball at all in the first place, and they didn't get an extended version of the bed. It took $8 billion to make such a single bed, and to say that it was frugal and environmentally friendly, isn't it nonsense! I just want to ask, can this be called thrifty and environmentally friendly? This is simply perfunctory!
Let's just talk about the size of this bed, for those athletes who stand out, it's a nightmare. Think about it, athletes train so hard every day that they can't even sleep well at night, can they compete in good shape? Isn't this obviously affecting the performance of athletes? Moreover, can athletes from other countries feel comfortable seeing this? Doesn't this make people feel that the organization of the Paris Olympics is too unreliable?
Speaking of the air conditioner, since so many national teams feel the need to install it, it shows that there is indeed uncertainty about the local climate conditions in Paris. Organizers can't just think about saving money and ignore the actual needs of the athletes. Athletes are here to fight for honor, not to suffer. Isn't providing a comfortable rest environment the most basic guarantee?
In short, the handling of these details at the Paris Olympics is really disappointing. I hope that the cities that host the Olympic Games in the future will learn from the lesson, stop making such low-level mistakes again, and truly put the needs of the athletes first, so as to hold a successful, wonderful Olympic Games that will satisfy everyone!
Epilogue:
Looking at the toss of the Paris Olympics, I really hope that the future sports events can be more intimate and less bad, so that the athletes can show their demeanor on the field wholeheartedly, and our audience can also watch it comfortably and happily!
