The 2024 Paris Olympics have been marred by several controversies. The opening ceremony faced backlash for a tableau reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s β€œLast Supper,” sparking debates between critics who saw it as offensive to Christians and supporters who hailed it as a victory for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Additionally, Australian surfing judge Benjamin Lowe was removed from the panel after a photo with a competitor raised fairness concerns. Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec drew attention by winning silver without standard shooting gear, igniting discussions on the role of equipment in performance.
