A few days after the Paris Olympics began, the hot search was about to be completely occupied.
Among them, there is not only the heroic posture of mainland athletes, but also the news that various projects have won gold.
There are also countless ridiculous things on and off the field.
Really! Foreign appearances have to be made by foreigners, and these things outside the Paris Olympics are as exciting as the game.
01, triathlon, the ironman vomited
Even before the start of the Olympic Games, the water quality of the Seine was already a concern.
With so many sports being held in the Seine, people around the world are worried about their country's athletes being affected by water quality issues.
Despite repeated assurances from the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, the relevant events were still scheduled.
Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful, and the two days of heavy rain on Friday and Saturday caused the gravel of the Seine River to sink directly up.
Water quality has been significantly affected and the triathlon planned for the 28th-29th has had to be postponed.
On the afternoon of the 29th, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee was full of confidence in the success of the competition, and bluntly said in an interview:
"The temperature on the 30th was as high as 35 degrees, and the bacteria in the water were gone as soon as the sun was shining!"
The Sun may have felt the weight of his body and arrived on the 30th.
The triathlon was finally held on the 31st, and the race began amid a wave of doubts.
Just unexpectedly, just after the game ended, the 29-year-old Canada player Taylor vomited directly!
This scene happened to be recorded on live TV footage.
The water quality problem of the Seine has been reversed, but some people have said that vomiting after a long swimming is normal.
For a while, there were different opinions, and the specific results will not be known until the follow-up notice.
I just hope that athletes in various countries can protect their bodies and avoid similar incidents in the future.
02, the France are angry with their eyes open
On the day of the opening ceremony, Korea, which stood in the center, thought that it was valued by France and was ready to show its strength in the European world.
Unexpectedly, when France people introduced, their names were pronounced as North Korea, and they were mispronounced in French and English.
The subtitles directly translate Korea into "North Korea".
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Korean Internet.
Korea completely broke the defense, believing that this was the lowest mistake in the entire Olympic history and a clear racial discrimination against Koreans.
This reaction is understandable, considering that the Korea people themselves are not confident enough and need to be recognized by many parties to support their racial self-confidence.
I thought that after the opening ceremony, the France, who were full of "relaxation", would stop and begin to be rigorous.
Unexpectedly, their "targeting" of Korea continues.
I don't know if the Korea flag is too complicated, anyway, this matter really stumped the France.
On the day of the opening ceremony, although standing in the center, the Korea flag did not appear several times from beginning to end.
The only effective shot of the national flag was filmed, and it was also marked with a tight mosaic.
Flag-related issues have arisen since then.
On the first day, the medal table was hung with the Chinese flag, which surprised mainland netizens, why China ranked second and fifth at the same time.
After a while, it became the flag of South Africa, and anyway, there was no "four trigrams" of Korea.
In the TV program, it directly became a new flag, Japan Korea the flags of the two countries were directly staged into one.
finally got the national flag right, and was asked in an interview: Is this Pepsi?
Finally, amid the insults, Korea found the reason why France treated it the way it did.
When France entered the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Korea used to mark the France flag as the flag of Russia.
I thought that only Koreans were narrow-minded, but I didn't expect the France to hold such a grudge!
The two countries can be regarded as a real bond now.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time that Korea has formed a bond in the European world.
I still remember the 2002 World Cup, Korea players relied on their "unique secrets" to make Italy's players blood splashed on the field.
I don't know how Italy will make up for this feud at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
03, the thieves of the rivers and lakes are thrilling Paris
Speaking of "thieves", the material provided by France is really incomprehensible.
Before the opening ceremony, France promised to seriously address the problem of excessive thieves and let athletes from various countries have a safe trip.
But it's only been a few days, and countless people have already suffered from it.
On the 31st, a Japan men's team member participating in Olympic rugby was stolen in the Olympic Village.
When the player was away, the family's 3,000 yuan in cash, necklaces, and even his wedding ring were missing.
The valuables are gone, but the door lock is still intact.
In addition, according to Argentina's footballer, his belongings were missing before he went on the pitch, and a rough estimate is about 50,000 euros.
This also directly led to the low morale of the entire team, which directly lost to Morocco.
But maybe this is their ploy to prevent themselves from being stolen further, after all, after losing they can prepare to pack up and go home.
The stolen venues are also gradually diversifying, not only in the Olympic Village, but also on the way to the Olympics.
The family of a Qatar head of state was stolen from 11 designer bags on the way to Paris, along with huge amounts of jewelry, watches, etc.
Also stolen on the way to the Olympics was a cyclist from Australia.
He was not the only one who was stolen, and the entire bus was looted and emptied.
The backpack, food, and even my passport and proof of participation were gone, and even the helmet and protective gear were taken away.
At this point, it is unclear whether this athlete will be able to successfully participate in the Olympics.
It is not only the thieves who go further and further on such a unearned road, but the robbers are even more arrogant.
Two technicians affiliated with the Australia television broadcasting agency for the Paris Olympics were openly robbed on the streets of Paris.
Another Japanese gymnast even faced the bandits and chose to fight hard, and as a result, he was directly kicked and broke four ribs, which can be described as scarred.
It has only been a few days since the Games began, and I hope that the Paris authorities will strengthen security measures to protect the property of every athlete and make the Olympic experience better for all athletes.
But after all, France has relaxed like this, and athletes should protect themselves first.
04. Find your way to the arena
The relaxation of the France is also reflected in the transportation of athletes to and from the field.
The Olympic Village is located on the outskirts of the city, and there is a considerable distance between it and the competition venues.
In the past few days of the competition, many athletes have complained that on the bus from the Olympic Village to the venue, the driver not only did not turn on the air conditioning, but even the windows were blocked and could not be opened.
Coupled with the fact that France is exposed to the sun after heavy rains, and there is humidity in the hot summer, countless athletes express that they can't stand the stuffiness of the shuttle.
In order not to affect the results of training and competition, many athletes have chosen to move out of the Olympic Village and stay in hotels in the city.
I thought that no air conditioning was already the limit, but I didn't expect that the bigger problem was still to come.
On July 28, a post about an Olympian went viral on social media.
It started with a shuttle bus full of Canada badminton players, which was supposed to take the players to the court.
Unexpectedly, when there was still an hour to go to the race, the driver said that he was lost.
Dong Xingyu of the badminton team immediately posted the news on the Internet.
After reading his post, people know that not only did they get lost this time, but the punctuality rate was not even 10% in a week on the Olympic bus, and the time on the schedule was just a reference, and it was normal to be thirty or forty minutes later than it.
Not only is it difficult to secure time, but also security.
In the first three days of the start, there were two crashes alone.
Once on the railing, once into the car.
The driver may be cheering them on in this way.
The loss incident has seriously affected the state of the Canada team.
Although they managed to catch up with the match, Canada lost 0:2 to Malaysia in the men's doubles group stage.
In an interview afterwards, Dong Xingyu believed that the delay of the bus was an important reason.
In this regard, netizens have said that the "relaxation" of France is no longer relaxed, and it is clearly negative slack.
In the face of all kinds of absurd things, France will wait to be condemned by the whole world if it does not rectify it.
epilogue
Compared to the exciting matches on the Olympic field, the excitement off the field is not at all.
But it has to be said that it is the flag again, the theft and the lost, and the so-called "relaxation" of the France really needs to be rectified again.
If it continues like this, I wonder what the international evaluation of it will be.
I believe that France is not willing to let this Olympics become a "fun party".
