パリオリンピックー世間の評価は？ー
The Paris 2024 Olympics were generally well-received, with many praising the event’s organization and the vibrant atmosphere created by the stunning venues, including iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower. The Games were notable for their record-breaking attendance, particularly in sports like Rugby 7s and Handball. Despite the initial concerns about weather and security, the overall experience was positive, with most visitors rating their experience highly.
However, there were some controversies, including issues with water quality in the Seine River, which affected swimming events, and concerns over fairness and gender in boxing. Additionally, some logistical challenges, like long queues, were noted. Notable instances of online harassment and abuse on social media also marked the tournament. The situation escalated to the point where calls were made to refrain from such behaviour involving targeted athletes, including medalists, former representatives of Japan, and experts.
The Games also set new standards for gender equality, with near-parity in athlete participation and leadership roles. The Paris Olympics were widely regarded as a successful and memorable event, though not without its challenges (DW) (Paris 2024 Olympics) (Paris 2024 Olympics).
