The Paris 2024 Olympics have been marked by numerous controversies, from cultural clashes during the opening ceremony to organizational missteps.
The opening ceremony, directed by Thomas Jolly, faced backlash for its French art house vibe, resulting in censorship in countries like Morocco, Algeria, China, and the US.
Advertisers like C Spire pulled out, and social media users faced copyright takedowns for sharing controversial scenes.
Furthermore, the Games have seen organizational chaos, with mismatched national anthems and eco-friendly measures that neglected athletes' needs.
There were also security theater and surveillance issues, and a pollution problem that canceled triathlon practice due to high fecal bacteria levels.
Additionally, mistakes in the construction of the Olympic pool venue led to no World Records being broken in the first three days of the swimming events.
