Paris Olympics 2024: Thousands Flock to See Floating Olympic Cauldron | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The unique, flame-free Olympic cauldron has become a tourist attraction since the Paris Olympics 2024 kicked off last Friday. This innovative spectacle soars 60 meters above the ground. The flame, which is a ring of fire, almost 7 metres in diameter, is made up of a cloud of mist and lit by LED beams of light.

Also on Vantage Shots:
- Nearly 200 thousand people celebrate the Torch Festival in China.
- A vacuum cleaner robot dog hits Italian beaches to collect trash.
- This Day in History: In 1930, Uruguay hosted and won the first-ever football world cup.

As long as the Western countries dominate the governing bodies of all sports, they will continue to increase gold medals in sports dominated by the West. At the same time, they will reduce gold medals where the West is not good at.

This Olympics daily medal tally is set to favor France and USA with many of China's potential gold medals in table tennis, diving, weightlifting etc all moved to last few days competition 7-10 August. Swimming has been brought forward to 27 July.

Number of golds in traditional events which Asian and China are good at such as weightlifting (15 reduced to 10) reduced drastically compared to Tokyo 2022.

Several significant changes are instituted in the weightlifting program for Paris 2024, as the number of categories is trimmed from fourteen in Tokyo to ten.  Weightlifting will be completely removed in LA 2028 despite it being one of the core sports since Olympics started a hundred years ago. Unbelievable.

At the same time, new events favoring the West are constantly being introduced and added in Paris 2024, LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032 to ensure USA continue to top the table. Forget about Wushu being ever introduced as an Olympic sport whilst Breaking, Skateboarding, Golf will have increase in gold medals. Unfortunately, this Western biasness will be multiplied as the next few Olympics will all be held in Western countries: France, USA, Australia.
