I’m pissed with the Olympics
Whether it's the terrible water quality that triathletes are asked to swim in (some of them falling ill), the extremely disappointing way the Olympic village has been set up with cardboard beds, rooms without air conditioning, and subpar meals. The Paris 2024 Olympics are honestly infuriating me on numerous levels. This event should be where every athlete can perform at their peak, driven only by the love of their sport. It should be an inspiration for the world, but we’re so far from that.
Most infrastructures do not meet Olympic standards, tickets are exorbitantly priced, preventing passionate fans from attending in person. And from a media perspective, I can hardly see anything! Media rights are so expensive that only a few YouTube channels can show highlights, most of them region-locked! People are getting banned from Instagram after posting a few stories because they have many followers and "Didn't pay for media rights"... At the end of the day, the Olympics are like any other big company of this century: Cut costs and make money.
Best of luck to all the incredible athletes in Paris, but they deserve better.
