2024 Olympic Games: How is Paris preparing? | AFP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- With just six months to go until the start of the Paris Olympic Games, the clock is ticking for the organising committee. Political bickering, ongoing grumbling about ticket prices and disruption to everyday life are souring the mood in the build-up to the Paris Olympics this July -- something organisers blame on typical French pessimism. Several recent announcements have led to a spike in negative publicity for the sporting mega-event which will start in just six months and draw a television audience of billions. Many Parisians were dismayed in December by news that transport ticket prices are set to double for the duration of the event and that they should work from home to free up seats on busy metros and buses. The unveiling of planned security measures led to claims some parts of the city would face Covid-style lockdowns, while controversy erupted about the environmental impact of a judges' tower at the surfing venue in French Polynesia. However, Paris 2024 organisers remain confident that sights such as beach volleyball in front of the Eiffel Tower, swimming in the river Seine, or the marathon through the capital's fabled streets will lift spirits once the flame is lit on 26 July.

Excited for Paris Games! Here's wishing for the successful staging of the Games! - from an Olympic fan from Quezon City, the Philippines
This sounds like a crowd nightmare 😫Goodluck to everyone in Paris
Paris is almost empty during the summer, one third of the parisians will be on holidays. Even with the olympics it will proobably be less crowded than the sea and oceans sides :)
@@aurelienambroise2948 thanks good. I did a trip to Paris one summer and it was so crowded 👀
@@GodwinIsaac ah ah ! imagine what it could be outside the summer period. that's one of the most dense city in the world
@@aurelienambroise2948 can’t imagine lol. I have a love hate relationship with Paris 😮💨
Paris is going to be the target of multiple Terror Attacks. Stay clear. It is overflowing with Ukraine black-market weapons, undocumented immigrants, and is caught up in multiple political conflicts and colonial disputes on the African continent, Middle East, New Caledonia... It is also caught up in the Ukraine War & Israeli Wars and has multiple domestic problems and economic troubles. It is a disaster waiting to happen. 1 in 5 French households are hungry, inflation is growing and banks are shaky. Crime is going to be rife amongst the crowds and having thousands of heavily armed French Military Soldiers, mixed in with multiple "Private Security firms" on the streets on top of "Police" is going to increase the risk of mistakes or someone getting trigger happy... Just stay away from this tinder box!!!!
Construction of venues is always source of contention in any city that host's the Olympic Games. Paris will be beautiful. The Paris Olympic Games will be incredible! The very best to Paris. The very best to France.
Never . nothing is done , absolutly nothing , all a huge mess , nobody cares and less do politicians very very far from the every day third world mess of tired , rotten Paris. Is a fact. Is what see everyday grey, poor Paris's people (not replaced yet by unaducated , blind , careless people, politicians now).
The Chinese did not have a problem with this kind of logistics and neither did the Brits or the Brazilians. Tokyo was was way ahead of schedule until covid happened.
Perhaps, the French along with their noted deludedness and incompetence should not have been awarded the Olympics. But, it's here and let's just hold our noses and deal with it. The Los Angeles Olympics will soon be here and help us forget that France ever happened. They can go back to squabbling over 1.7 Billion Euros with their endless strikes while we spend 12X as much in a far more dynamic and innovative city.
@@Gab-ct9puje vis à Paris et je comprends pas pourquoi autant de français disent ça, en 2012 Londres a accueilli les j.o, puis après c’était le tour du Brésil. Si ces pays peuvent accueillir les j.o je me dis que Paris peut le faire en mieux .
@@Whybsh l'organisation est mauvaise, la circulation non libre ça va être un fiasco, la RATP et la SNCF qui menacent de faire grève, la danse de la cérémonie d'ouverture qui est honteuse, la mascotte qui est ridicule... ça va être une catastrophe, on va être la risée du monde, et ça va être un gouffre financier dont on ne sortira jamais à cause des dépenses sans revenus (personne va l'acheter cette mascotte)
@@Whybsh pareil. Je ne comprends pas non plus. Surtout que la France est particulièrement forte dans l'organiation d'évenements (coupe du monde de foot 1998, ruby 2007, euro 2016, rugby 2023 etc...).
I'm a fan from Los Angeles. Good luck Paris!❤
Paris needs a mega mega good luck , a miracle !! i don't know when you visited Paris bit this 8 last years is only dirt and darkness . if you go back , just go to the 3 shopping street and tired museums, the rest of Paris better never see ,
@@user-dm5zq8fr.là je pense que vous exagérez et s en est même ridicule. Par contre il y a une invasion migratoire qui nous vient du continent Africain 'et ça c'est inadmissible !!!
@@user-dm5zq8fr. Sorry, I never had the pleasure of going to Paris but I am from a suburb of Los Angeles. The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics changed my life as a little girl and made me a life long fan of the games. I still have my 1984 ticket!
You'll be having your own Olympics too right? Condolences. If only your government cared more about your people than prestige chasing with Olympics.
I have been to Paris last February 2024 and I say it was such a beautiful and vibrant city! No doubt they will deliver an iconic and successful Olympic Games. Would love to go back with my family.
❤ Paris mon amour 🇨🇵
At this point i really dont get why any city wants to host Olympics..
@@Aicy2008 are you sure about that? I have been reading a lot of studies that Olympics now cost more to the city than what they generate. And it's mostly become a vanity project.
But maybe it depends on how much infrastructure is already available. I am positive though Rio did not recoup all the money.
@@Aicy2008OG are only here for the personal glory of few sportsmen and women who nobody will remember the name anyway. Huge waste of money, ressources and time. Hopefully we end this baffling nonsense one day.
Paris will be a very dangerous place.
The French Olympiad is an Olympiad of racists and colonialists.
Very excited for Paris2024 Summer Olympics 🥇🥈🥉
You'll be sorry!
This is so exciting to see. I hope the city is well prepared for the fans and I am wishing the entire city of France a successful hosting. Hopefully one day it will come to Africa again.
Early preparation in anything is best. Good luck to all athletes for this year's Olympics. Bonne chance et bon courage!
Risible. Ce sera un fiasco.
Thankfully we’ll be there before the chaos. Can’t wait to see the preparations.
I live here, and it’s terrible, everything is on the construction, it’s a rated difficult to drive anywhere, they’re closing down roads, and I’m also Photographer, we can shoot anywhere. It will be a chaos , not fun, and not easy for us to move around. Metro stations will be fully closed down. And we can also take taxis. Or buses. we will have to walk or take bikes for kilometers 😵💫🤦🏻♀️ it will be a nightmare
Be careful. There are a lot of weapons flowing into France from Ukraine black markets.
The amount of elite/rich mofos in the comments who are completely unaware of the moral and financial corruption required to get this clown games running is truly disgusting
Good luck to the Paris Olympic. May it be a very successful and fun games for everyone.
Ok, rich people are preparing and poor people must work. 🤔
No, rich people are getting richer and poor people are getting poorer.
All the local thieves are surely preparing to rob the tourists blind. Just watch your stuff to all visitors.
Best Wishes !
Come on!Paris in 2024!🎉❤
I bet less than 50m will watch opening ceremony
God job paris❤ Lala from Indonesia
Спорт, это то лучшее, что придумало человечество 😊😊😊
I think this and music. It brings people together, peace on earth
I have a question:
Macron is planning to put his military in Ukraine. How can Paris have olympic games, if they do that? Is this is the reason, why they exclude Russia and Belarus from the games? What is wrong with this picture???
I plan to be in Paris for the olympics
Paris❤
Imagine the pickpockets. What a nightmare!!!
😂😂😂 pickpocket
@@Like-23Paris have a lot Arab, India and black people 😂 the crime is high 😂
They will organize some competitions in Seine-Saint-Denis, the capital of crime. There will be thousands of tourists robbed.
they are there every summer, olympics or not
Pickpockets will be a minor inconvenience. All the gangsters are sporting automatic weapons from the overflowing Ukraine black markets. Very very dangerous!!!
Don't disappoint 😢Robledos
So excited! Olympics Paris 2024
you souldn't it's gona be a tragedy
@@pyronderman9055no it it would. What ever is going to be shown on tv is going to be entertaining
@@user-km4lo8zz6z yeah that's true
By removing the crosses from the City! Paris with no identity 😮
France has a lot of problems
Will Israel atlets go to Olympic?
Their country is wiping out Gaza. If Russia and Belarus can't go, what about Israel?
I just realized there’s gonna be three summer sporting events this year: copa America, euro 2024 and the summer Olympics. 😮😮
They always together ( not Copa in the past but from now on)
too scared to go
What Paris is doing is nothing new for the Olympics. Historically, most Olympic host cities keep most of their venues. Athens and Rio are outliers. It's not building and spending money that's the problem. It's how cities are building and spending that money that's the problem. London is constantly hailed as one of the gold standards for how to host an Olympics despite building way more than Paris is, and still being the 2nd most expensive Olympics of all-time 12 years later at $14.9B. More than double what both Rio and Athens spent combined. Because London built and spent wisely, and actually had a post-Games plan, making the Games actually worth the cost. And they aren't alone either. Barcelona and Sydney, two other cities also hailed as model Olympic cities despite both spend more money than both Rio and Athens as well.
I wonder if they will also do something about the thousands of illegal immigrants selling Eiffel tower keychains and loose alcohol near the main monuments of Paris. Like, I understand they are desperate but at the same time you can't even walk for 10 second straight near the Eiffel Tower or other main monuments without being asked to buy stuff.
I was in Paris for ten days in 2018 for an international multi-sport event. No one ever approached me to sell merchandise.
Es muy interesante que viene los juegos Olímpicos de verano en París Francia.
😂 Ville poubelle 😂
Feel like the first one might be greener tbh
No Olympics has been better than the one in London and it doesn't look like Paris will top it
Err....No one? I guess u havent seen the Beijing Olympics or other Sporting event that was done by China.
@@ALROD agreed
Beijing 2008 are the ones to top.
Financially, Los Angeles 1984 were the most successful.
@@naivoj122Are you talking about the 2022 winter olympics in Beijing? I didn’t really care about it since my country the Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 didn’t participate but I’m just asking
@@SonicFan_922 2008 beijing olympics. The Winter Olympics in Beijing is very good as well given that it was done during covid.
Effort! but if you're going to just keep people in a bubble. YES, they are ready. But just Paris, Paris? I dont think so. Safety. Cleanliness, transport, crowd management at sites etc. Just came back from Paris - March 2024.
Ill be there next year
They had promised ticket prices like "the past event" - événement précédent. This was Paris 1924 and now ticket prices are far off superior! What went wrong?
capitalism ...
Well, I'm curious how much is to be spent for tightening the heightened security ??
Well they still don’t have enough security .
A month ago , they were asking for student to come and work as a security.
Istg these Olympics are going to be a disaster : no safety measures, completely unorganized, an awful opening dance... I just hope it'll be over soon :(
Most people in France are bracing for a complete failure. We are expecting chaos (overcrowded public transports, plenty of tourists being robbed, delays, infrastructures not being ready) and this is if we are lucky enough to experience no terrorism. This will be hell. Nobody in France wants those Olympic games.
Just like Greeks, Chinese, Brits, Brazilians and Japanese did not want to host them
this is wrong
Cleaning the river 😮
It's going to be shit, don't kid yourself, even french people knows France can't organize an event properly.
It cost us over 5k for track and field
It will be a nightmare ! From a french guy
you stupid ! from a Paris guy
This olympics will end soon since France is not welcoming all countries, the olympics will split soon into two East and West factions.
Swim in the Seine? Not without biohazard gear.
OK. Viva Sport Olimpia Europa: Franciaorszag: Parizs 2024.....😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Japan is currently facing direct racism through the gaming company UBI, which is funded by French taxpayers. That in itself is very serious. France is not eligible to host the Olympics. I strongly condemn France.
I hope people all over the world know the truth.
After the opening ceremony I won’t watch any of it.
Best place for Olympic games
Messi & di maria here 🔥
I hope France's Poor and working class, benefit from The Olympics (Jobs). I have roots in France(I believe so)
How about fleas?
It seems that to organise OG in Paris is too risky, taking into account a current situation. Is IOC sleeping? They should be either cancelled, or transfer into more secure country, which would not have a problem to organise them in a short notice - eg Japan, China etc. Or to pospone OG 1, 2 years.
What do you consider unsecure in the current situation ?
@@benjaminlamey3591 do you not follow what is going on???
@@manK2022 What Putin raging a war about 2 000 km away ? or Niger and other african country fucking round to get poorer with the help of russia ? or Israel trying to wipe out the palestinians ? or just some islamic terrorists that do their thing like they do since 40 years ? no bigger deal than usual. the scariest thing at the moment is trump threatening the complete NATO ...
The olympics are disgusting. They cost millions to host and the tax payers pull the bill
If you are not constructing … new stadiums for Olympic or FIFA World Cup …. Then why the hell …. The country has been awarded ….. to organise these World class events !!😬😬….. only to show the visitors how French croissant has been made 🤣🤣
To make the Olympic Games in
We passed safely
and
Fair enough, it is proposed
Cancel the ceremony
Open and distribute immediately
medals in the following
Proportions: 90% - USA, 9%
- Ukraine, 0.7% - France,
0.3% to Israel. Germany
a certificate of honor.
OK. Viva Europa: Franciaorszag: Parizs: Olimpia Sport 2024......😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Good luck with France.
Oh, and watch the security. All troublemakers will want to come to Paris this summer.
#banisrael
Ban Russia too. Fair, right?
yeah if Russia is banned from Eurovision, then Isreal should be too, same for Olympics@@anggasimbolon109
Snew Olympic SLOGAN , Safety , Security , Sweep ARREST - Justice
What about the pleasant Parisian customer service? What are they doing about that?

If they want the games to be successful, then Macron should stop the chaos that has happened in Paris like the 2015 Paris terrorist attack, the pension bill protest and pro-palestinian rally(Free Palestine🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸) in 2023 and the farmers protest between January-Febuary 2024

School , college what a waste of time why we need that
@@Warish.. pears with onions....Think again before commenting, genius.
@@comchadelalora do you think million of people are studip organizing these events ....
It's a reality that it can backfire a countries economy cause of expenses but it can also uplift and its just a game even but also a screening to see how stable is that country is ....
@Warish.. yes...they are...plus, waiting important resourses on a useless and expensive event. Very idiotic thing.
@@comchadelalora so do you think qatar hosted fifa world cup was just a waste ............

Welcome in the nightmare of Parisian’s public transport !
It’s really a shame for the French, they don’t provide air conditioning to athletes in this weather
