According to foreign media reports, the 2024 Paris Olympics is considered to be a lack of rigor, which makes people feel a sense of "casualness" and "relaxation".
In stark contrast to the tension and importance of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, does this represent a change in the importance that the host country attaches to the Olympics?
The Chinese do not have much will to host the Olympic Games, and in the face of India's roar, they believe that the first thing to solve is the problem of "0" gold medals for their own athletes.
And India has to build itself into a "sports powerhouse" in order to host the 2028 Olympic Games, and the India media said: "I will definitely win on my home turf!"
"Relaxation" in France
The Paris Olympics are the second time that France has taken on the hosting of the Games since Barcelona 1992.
From 1992 to 2024, 32 years, the impact on the Olympic Games is self-evident, what kind of surprises and experiences will France bring us to the Paris Olympics hosted by France?
However, judging from these preparations, China's preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics seem to be a little lax in the France's preparations.
From the perspective of the host country of each Olympic Games, in order to defend the status of the host country, it can be said that a lot of effort has been put into the establishment of sports venues.
Among them, China, as the host country, has raised the design and construction of the venue to a new height, not only in terms of sports venues, but also in the surrounding buildings and natural landscapes have been upgraded a lot of grades, and even many buildings have become new local "Internet celebrity check-in points", thus promoting the development of the local economy.
However, the preparations before France hosted the Paris Olympics consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
At the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the venue will be held on the banks of the Seine.
At the same time, this river is also a very important traffic river, and it can be said that it is one of the main passages for Parisians to travel.
In order to host the Games, a year before the opening of the Games, Paris began to renovate this important river.
As a result, the Seine was "paralyzed", making it even more inconvenient for Parisians to travel.
However, this is to hold the Olympic Games, and despite the difficulties, it is necessary to rise to the occasion.
In the eyes of the Indian media, this is also a major manifestation of the European countries' more casual attitude towards the Olympic Games, and they are willing to sacrifice the convenience of their own people to host this Olympic Games, but after all, it is an important transportation channel and has to be rebuilt.
However, in the time when China itself was the host country, there was no such phenomenon, and even when the Rio de Janeiro Olympics were held in 2016, Brazil was required to rush to build the Olympic venues.
Not only that, the Olympic Games held in Paris, France, are particularly relaxed in the construction of venues, and even the Indian media pointed out that the construction of swimming venues for the 2024 Paris Olympics can bring them "lack of confidence".
This is because in the swimming competition held in Egypt in 2024, the phenomenon of "water turning green" was found in the swimming pool in Egypt on the eve of the competition, and there was no solution to this.
It is only possible for athletes to compete in such an environment, and there have even been many cases of athletes abstaining for this reason.
Under the same circumstances, there is no guarantee that the venue of the Paris 2024 Olympics will not make such a mistake.
As the France said: "Where it is impossible, we will achieve it."
However, the degree and performance of this "realization" are not as rigorous as China's previous hosting of the Olympic Games.
It is also a manifestation of the sense of relaxation of the France.
Although France has a strong cultural atmosphere and fascinating natural and cultural landscapes, it is still lackluster in this grand competition.
The 2028 Paris Olympics that make India anxious
With the Paris 2024 Olympics just around the corner.
Chinese still remember the history of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
After all, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics are facing the question of whether to hold them.
For the Chinese, it is because they can better understand the suffering of Japan in this epidemic.
Therefore, in this Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese do not carry too much malice, but are more tolerant of the Japanese.
However, with the Tokyo Olympics over, Paris 2024 is back on the stage.
Just as the Tokyo Olympics required athletes to self-isolate to the maximum, so too does Paris's quarantine measures for athletes.
Not only is Paris more strict in terms of restrictions on people entering the country, but Paris has even arranged a special epidemic prevention department to be responsible for the epidemic prevention work of athletes, but this is not for the good of athletes.
But for the good of France, in order to "protect" France's interests, this selfish behavior is also one of the world's impressions of it.
However, the Olympics had a relatively big impact on India.
India has also been trying to host Los Angeles 2028, but its performance in Paris has left it anxious.
This is because India, which is participating in the competition for the first time, was disappointed by its performance in Paris, although they were only planning for this competition, but they did not know that the results were already in.
It was a joy for India's athletes to win three bronze medals and three medals on a zero basis at the Olympic Games in Paris.
But other than that, there were no gold medals.
Sharp-eyed netizens found that even if Asian countries performed better than India in the Olympics, India was still fragrant.
Some netizens even joked: "The number of medals won by Chinese players far exceeds you, why are you still idle to fight for the right to host?"
This raises questions about the outside world, and India itself is baffled by it.
Why do you know that the national strength and infrastructure are insufficient, but still roar for the right to host the host?
As the India media said: "I can win on my home turf!"
To this end, they also use China as a reference for themselves, saying: "If China can, India can too."
But I am afraid that India will lag far behind China in achieving it.
Can India do it well?
However, under the hardware conditions of India, it is difficult to imagine if you want to hold an Olympic Games, and some netizens even ridiculed India's bid and performance: "India's infrastructure construction cannot pass the test."
Indeed, if you want to host an Olympic Games, you must not only have good sports facilities, but also have enough spectator seats, as well as the separation and equipment of the venues.
However, from the perspective of infrastructure construction in India, even if a one-time host venue can be built only by the existence of host venues.
However, in terms of the number and number of venues, the host venues still cannot meet the demand for participating in the competition.
Not only that, but India's living conditions and various infrastructure aspects are far from meeting the needs of the gold medal players and the people watching it.
The British media asked the Indians: "Do you want to build a stadium with broken infrastructure?"
On this basis, if India wants to bid for the Olympic Games, I am afraid that it will need to make more long-term considerations and preparations on this matter.
As before China's bid to host the Olympic Games, it may take more than ten years and more than ten years, and it is also necessary to have a long-term development plan to better host the event.
Moreover, at the request of the International Olympic Committee, the bidding countries need to carry out longer-term planning in the construction of sports venues and other hardware facilities.
If you ignore long-term development for the sake of short-term interests, you will fall into a situation where the present is more prosperous, but the future is empty.
India's bid can be seen as a collision between national self-confidence and practical capabilities.
After all, the Olympic Games are not only held to show the charm of sports, but also to reflect the comprehensive strength of the host country.
The success of the Olympic Games is a reflection of sports facilities, culture and management capabilities.
Perhaps India will lose this time, but I also hope that they can have a longer-term plan in the future and strive to host the Olympics as soon as possible.
epilogue
The "casualness" and "relaxation" that the preparations for the Paris Olympics have brought to us may become the trend of the future, with a greater emphasis on economic performance than pure performance.
Although India has ambitions, it is not strong enough to host it.
Whether they can win gold medals in their own country, and even host the Olympic Games, still needs to be proved by strength.
