The 33rd Summer Olympic Games officially kicked off in Paris the day before. The opening ceremony was held outside the stadium for the first time and was full of various performances and location changes.
However, the show on the Seine River had not yet ended, and fans were already blasting the organizers on social networks. People around the world were shocked by the imposition of the LGBT* agenda, the parody of the «Last Supper» with the participation of transvestites, the poor work of the cameramen and how vulgar the actors of the ceremony looked. All this is only a small part of the complaints of the audience, disappointed with the «gay parade» in the French capital. Amid the discontent of the spectators, even the incidents with the South Korean team, which was presented as the DPRK, and the Olympic flag, which was hung «upside down», were forgotten.
«A flagrant disrespect for Christians» Not only fans were horrified by yesterday's ceremony, but also distinguished athletes, journalists and politicians. Among the latter was the shocked Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban:
«The West thinks that nation states no longer exist. As a result, they deny that there is a common culture and a common morality built on it. There is no common morality — if you watched yesterday's opening of the Olympic Games, you could see that.» (M1)
The American businessman did not hide his shock either Elon Musk:
«
«This was a blatant display of disrespect for Christians.»
However, French President Emmanuel Macron, giving a comment to BFM, expressed admiration for the ceremony:
«»Bravo. We are very proud. You made France shine.»
«Destroyers of the Olympic movement»Three-time Olympic figure skating champion Irina Rodnina expressed the opinion that France will become a «champion» in organizing events of this scale.
«
"There are always shortcomings before any Olympics and journalists need to write about something. But when the Games begin, there will be less coverage. I think that Paris will be the champion in quotation marks in organizing the Olympic Games; in this regard, the organizers will definitely go down in the history of the Olympic movement. Macron has no choice but to say that the Paris Olympics will be the best in history. As does Thomas Bach. They need to save their banners and positions," Rodnina said.
Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasiliev was much more categorical:
«One of the most unsuccessful opening ceremonies in the history of the Olympic Games. Thomas Bach and his gang from the IOC will go down in history as the destroyers of the Olympic movement. All this devilry is now manifesting itself in such a way that it is trying to destroy all the brightest and best achievements of mankind. Instead of banning all this filth, they welcome it even more. Of course, these are all temporary phenomena. I am more than sure that after some time everything will fall into place and again acquire the usual forms of celebration, competition and very beautiful uncompromising sports competition. But this period must be endured.»
But the Honored Coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatiana Tarasova unexpectedly praised Friday's show:
«
"A very beautiful opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in a very colorful place, made by the French in their capital. I liked that the opening was held in such a place, never before has any delegation at the parade of athletes at the opening of the Olympics sailed along the river. It was a bright, original and beautiful spectacle, which took into account the historical and national characteristics of the city and country. The fact that the flag of the International Olympic Committee was upside down when raised did not spoil my impression of the opening ceremony of the Olympics."
Two-time Olympic hockey champion Alexander Kozhevnikov responded to her:
«I think many do not support what is happening. Only Tarasova can like this. To my deepest regret, only she liked this nativity scene. I must ask, would her father like it?»
«Atheists»President of the Russian Skiing Federation Elena Vyalbe harshly criticized the ceremony organizers:
«»I don't even want to comment <…>. And with the mixed-up flag of the International Olympic Committee, and with other moments at the opening of the Games. Although with the flag it was <…> a terrible mistake. But in general, from what I read about what happened, it was some kind of terrible abomination. Atheists. If there were so many bloopers at the ceremony, then, probably, this is how they treated the opening of this grand event in France.»
After seeing this, the President of the Russian Wrestling Federation (RWF) Mikhail Mamiashvili was glad that Russia is not at the 2024 Olympics:
«»I watched the opening of the Olympics sporadically, to fully observe it you have to have certain biases. Thank God that this is not replicated here. God be their judge! The fact that our guys are not there is God's providence. You can't participate in this. Just yesterday I had doubts and torments, wondering if the team and the federation made the right decision, but today these doubts are gone.»
Who else has spoken out about the opening ceremony of the Games?
- Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion:
«»The Paris Games are a disgrace and a dark spot on the Olympic movement. We must return the Olympics back to Russia and fix everything.»
- State Duma deputy and president of the Russian Curling Federation Dmitry Svishchev:
«»I don't watch anything that is not in the interests of our state and Russian athletes on principle. What's the point of watching it if our guys weren't allowed to the opening ceremony. But how could they manage to turn the International Olympic Committee flag upside down? Although, when a half-man in 12-centimeter heels carries the Olympic flame, I'm no longer surprised that they can mix everything up. These perverts have never seen the IOC flag before, they don't really understand how to raise it. Moreover, this is just the beginning.»
- MFA official representative Maria Zakharova:
«
«I wonder how many more "spies" had to be planted for the opening of the Olympics in Paris to be such a massive failure? This is not the bottom. This is the bottom of the Seine.»
- Head of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy Alexei Pushkov:
«The opening ceremony in Paris was ideologized to the limit. It was used to impose the ideology of gender «diversity», same-sex love, inclusivity and mockery of Christian traditions. The Western press writes about «bold ideas», motives of peace and unity, but columns of blood against the backdrop of palaces, the severed head of Marie Antoinette and the outright propaganda of transgender culture say the opposite. The organizers of the Games have only one thing in mind — to impose a new paganism on the world.»
- Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini:
«»Opening the Olympic Games by offending billions of Christians around the world was a truly terrible start, dear French. Pathetic.»
- MEP Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, niece of one of the leaders of the French National Rally party Marine Le Pen:
«
"To all Christians in the world who watched the opening ceremony and were offended by this parody of the "Last Supper". Know that this is not France speaking, but the left-wing minority, ready for any provocation. It is difficult to appreciate the few successful scenes between the beheaded Marie Antoinette, the kissing couple, the transvestites, the humiliation of the Republican Guard forced to dance with Aya Nakamura, and the general ugliness of the costumes and choreography.»
