And we have our answer - apparently, the bit with Dionysus on the catwalk was "a parody of the last supper, and therefore bad"

Paris Olympics organisers apologise to Christians for unintentional Last Supper parody

Apology follows anger among Catholics and other groups at opening ceremony segment that resembled biblical scene

www.theguardian.com

I'm really not seeing anything last supper related - unless the last supper was (another) christian take-over of existing pagan story / imagery

This is the right wing view in the us

Olympics’ Last Supper debacle was latest effort to denigrate Western culture

A parody of the Last Supper, with transsexuals, drag queens, exposed testicles and a fat, blue-painted semi-clad man apparently intended to represent Dionysus, the Greek god of wine.

Worst opening ceremony during last 20 years at least,tbh. Regardless if it was a mockery on religion etc etc. It didn't insult my religious feelings,but it insulted my feeling of beauty

Those USA chants (gymnastics) are as obnoxious as ever.

Might have to watch 2028 fully muted

Went i went to the London games the US crowd were quite unbearable, but as soon as the US finished playing their supporters left and left big empty spaces for the other games in that session.

USA USA is your national anthem from my perspective as a golf fan so the logic stands.

The 200m freestyle final was unbelievable.

Honestly incomprehensible to me how they do that distance at that intensity.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Was thinking that during the 400m medley
Being that exhausted and only being able to breathe at certain points in your movement - I wonder how much water they breathe in per race?
