There was a controversy in the opening ceremony
The opening ceremony of the Olympics 2024 was not held on any ground but on the Seine River in Paris. The last supper of Jesus Christ was shown in this ceremony. Reactions came from all over the world regarding this ceremony and it was also described as Christianity’s own. After the controversy grew, the organizers even had to apologize. The spokesperson said that our intention was not to insult any religion.
Anti Sex Bed
There was a lot of discussion about anti-sex beds in the Paris Olympics. Earlier in the Tokyo Olympics too, athletes were given anti-sex beds to sleep on. These are cardboard beds, which caused a lot of uproar. Many athletes had raised their voices about the anti-sex beds, in which Australian athletes opened the front. Most of the players called the beds ‘rubbish beds’. However, earlier reports had said that about 230,000 condoms were distributed in the Olympic Village, in which every athlete got about 20 condoms. Then after this, anti-sex beds became a topic of discussion.
Gender Controversy
The Olympic boxing ring ‘gender’ controversy also made a lot of headlines. Algerian boxer Iman Khalif came under controversy. Iman Khalif fought against Italian female boxer Angela Carini. In the match, Angela Carini came out of the ring within 46 seconds. Iman Khalif is the same boxer who failed to pass the ‘Gender Eligibility Test’ in the 2023 World Boxing Championship. After this, she was disqualified from the tournament. Iman Khalif was described as a biological male.
When the matter became a matter of controversy, the International Olympic Committee said in a statement that everyone has the right to play. All athletes participating in the boxing tournament at the Paris Olympics 2024 meet the eligibility criteria for competition and all applicable medical rules set by the Paris 2024 Boxing Unit (PBU).”
