The return of the Olympic Games to Russia could correct the shame and dark stain on the Olympic movement that the Paris Olympics became, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion, Russian fighter Islam Makhachev, said on his page on the social network X on July 27.
“The Paris Games are a disgrace and a black stain on the Olympic movement. We must return them to Russia again to put everything right.”“, Makhachev said.
At the same time, the Russian wrestler suggested comparing the opening ceremonies of the Games in Paris and earlier in Sochi, posting the corresponding videos.
Let us recall that the Paris Olympic Games opened on July 26 and will last until August 11. At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the organizers presented to the public a story about sexual minorities that, in the opinion of many, is an offensive caricature of the Last Supper.
In particular, American businessman Elon Musk praised what happened at the opening of the Games. “showing blatant disrespect towards Christians”.
In addition, at the climax of the ceremony, the IOC flag was raised upside down. And the announcer introduced the South Korean team as athletes from the DPRK, for which the South Korean authorities demanded an explanation from the IOC.
With the permission of the organizing committee, 15 athletes from Russia are taking part in the Paris Olympics, who have agreed to compete in so-called “neutral status” – without the national anthem and flag of their country and without their awards being displayed on the general table.
