2024 Summer Olympics
The 2024 Summer Olympics, branded as Paris 2024 (the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad) are being held in Paris, France. They officially begin on July 26, 2024, and continue through August 11, 2024 (handball, rugby, and soccer begin on July 24). There is a total of 329 events over 19 days.
Its opening performance on July 26 was remarkably offensive and disgusting -- promoting the transgender agenda while parodying the Last Supper. Separate from that, the lighting show was impressive.
Less than a week later, this Olympics shocked the world by allowing a biological male fighting as a transgender woman to box a female contestant into severe pain and tears. The International Olympic Committee responded by saying that it was saddened ... by the criticism of the transgender boxers and the IOC's decision to allow them to compete against women.[1]

Air Conditioning Hypocrisy
Countries that impose global warming restrictions on others will provide special air conditioning units for their own athletes. The United States, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Denmark and Australia are all planning to install portable air conditioners for their athletes while competitors from poorer countries will suffer in the extreme summer heat without the host country France providing any air conditioners.[2]

Biased media coverage
Joke sports
Among "sports" to be included in the Summer Olympics include dressage (popular among elites who have no athletic ability), rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized diving swimming, and breakdancing.
Golf will also be included; even though it requires athletic ability, an Olympic medal is not the crowning achievement in the sport (that would be winning one of the four major individual championships, or a prestigious international title such as the Ryder Cup). This also applies to soccer and tennis.
Basketball will have two different events: the traditional 5x5 version featuring NBA stars on many teams, and a "3x3" version which more resembles a recreational league event than an actual game.
Transgenders

At the beginning of 2024, the International Olympic Committee announced new pro-transgender rules, as explained by NBC:
| “ | The International Olympic Committee announced a new framework for transgender and intersex athletes Tuesday, dropping controversial policies that required competing athletes to undergo "medically unnecessary" procedures or treatment.
In a six-page document, the IOC outlined 10 principles, which it described as "grounded on the respect for internationally recognised human rights," that sports competitions should follow. It also said it will no longer require athletes to undergo hormone level modifications to compete.[3] |
