South Korea confused as North, Upside-down flag and more Olympic Gaffes | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The first few days of the 2024 Paris Olympics was marked by major gaffes like South Korea was mistakenly introduced as North Korea, the Sudanese anthem playing during a South Sudan game and the Olympic flag was raised upside down. The Olympics is the world's biggest sporting event and these blunders don't bode too well for Paris. Can it avoid more such slip-ups? Palki Sharma tells you.

"I'm sorry if you were offended" worst apology ever.

[ioanak.]

They didn't "allegedly" mock the Last Supper, they mocked it with intention. The painting is so famous, do not tell me that a guy that studied arts wasn't aware of what he was doing. SHAME ON THE ORGANIZERS FOR THIS

[erickjustice]

Just imagine these blunders were made by an African/Asian Country. There will be a lot of talks and mockery

[huzib.]

French colonised Africa and still can't differentiate Sudan and South Sudan. 😅😅😅

[awwman]

What do you expect from people who can't differentiate male and female.

[danmacarthur]

I thought people of France were classy and into solidarity. Man, was I wrong. This completely changed my view of the French. They never had a good reputation to begin with though.

[sandrajansevanvuuren]

France should never host any big event again. They meant to mock Christianity

[Rajkumar-dzov]

They are focused on mocking religious beliefs. They did this with the Hindu goddess Ma Kali too. This is what Liberals do. Even at a local level, no one would make such mistakes. Just imagine playing the Pakistani national anthem for Indian players; imagine the repercussions. It's a shame for France as a whole. What do sports have to do with gender identity, religion, and politics?? It's a shame..

[vaibhav]

The Olympics opening was really disgusting, atleast have some shame kids are watching this too.

"The only thing France should host is an invasion." - Johnny English

[Jesse-gxmn]

The French waited 100 years for this?....How deplorable!

[charlesopudo]

You don't celebrate diversity by mocking the foundation of freedom.

[sjp]

This was the worst apology anyone could have given. It had absolutely no sincerity in it.

[steveroach]

“There was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group…”. Of course there was

[yuchan]

Who agrees that Paris olypmic is the worst olympic ever
👇

[gracenote]

Leave it to France to screw things up.

[kmchoo]

However, we will never forget this devastating commitment to the acceleration of tension and conflict between South and North Koreas.
The TV audience world-wide might have thought that the two Koreas had been unified by the North!! What a humiliating action at the world festival...!!

[cba]

Bruh so many people say Paris is overrated, dirty, full of addicts and criminals, and then they add all of these shit 😂

[drinksafewater]

Is this really French National 'Pride'? How utterly embarrassing. Standards slipped well below the flagpole.

[ወይግዜ-ጐቀ]

Lgbtq can mock Christianty but Christianty cannot mock Lgbtq REALLY?!!!
