From Angela Carini To Drag Queen Zeus: Is Paris Olympics The Most Controversial Event? | Explained

The 2024 Paris Olympics have been marred by several controversies.

The opening ceremony faced backlash for a tableau reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last 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.

Lastly, boxing was embroiled in a gender debate when Italian boxer Angela Carini abandoned her match against Algerian fighter Imane Khelif, who had faced controversy over gender eligibility.

These issues underscore the complex and evolving nature of the Olympic Games.
