They also announced South Korean team as North Korean during the opening ceremony. Huge huge diplomatic blunder.

Expecting to have people swimming in the Seine for the first time in 140 years with known continuous sewage pollution was not a rational decision. 🙄

[roysnell]

These 3 other Olympic moments shocked me the most:
*Olympic organizers referring to South Korea as North Korea
*The Wrong national anthem played for South Sudan during Men’s Basketball event
*The Olympic flag raised upside down during the opening ceremony

I’m surprised the female boxing controversy isn’t on here

[michaelmonthey]

I’m disappointed in how political and scandalous the Olympics has become. I’m less likely to watch it ever again.

Only 10 controversies? So few... However, the 2024 Summer Olympics is only 7 days old. There's lots of time for more controversies.

[MYTHkaz]

I still cannot comprehend someone in charge saying ‘let’s not give the athletes AC’ …IN SUMMER….and nobody thought this would be a major problem?? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet in the comments, but what about 60% of the food that they are offering to the athletes is plant-base protein, and they are restricting all of the animal-base protein. It gotten so bad, that both the UK and AS teams had to fly in their own supply of it and hired chefs as well.

[tylergoodman]

The soccer drone was plain stupid; like they wouldn't have noticed a drone? 🎉

[primus]

shouldnt this video be done when the olympics are over?

[mannyrobinson]

France should not have gotten the nod for the Olympics. Swimming in a polluted river? Seriously?

[krvgames]

Really? No mention of the Mario & Sonic at the Olympics series getting cancelled?

[fragkia]

If you're at the point where ppl are debating if the 1936 opening offered more entertainment that this year's, then you REALLY must've Fd up the ceremony!...🤣🤣

[carrillo]

Paris is a flop as a host. All these greats and legends giving them those rooms come on france.

[isaacmartinez]

The football match between Argentina and Morocco was very controversial.

Could have been avoided in the first place had the referee checked the video to verify the goal.

[CutterHistorical]

Technically theres still 9 days left for more controversies...

[LeeOgle-rhuh]

The whole 2024 Olympics has been a shit show! I have never seen such ass backwards crap going down.

[bongumusagambu]

These Olympics suck, selective inclusivity, 100% discrimination.

LOL, this video just scratches the controversies of the Paris Olympics :one of the performer's testicle appeared to be hanging out of their underwear, they told a brazillian surfer to hide or remove the image of Jesus on his surf board or he won't be allowed to participate in the games, the thai and algerian competitors allegedly trans which compete in female boxing (though, i'm not sure how in a country like Algeria where the main religion is islam will allow trans competitor ), announcing South Korean team as North Korean . The Paris Olympics are a disaster tbh .
