Lausanne. The president of the Worldwide Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, estimated this Friday that Paris is “ready” to host the Olympic Video games, insisting that the truth that there will likely be legislative elections in France shortly earlier than shouldn’t be a trigger for concern.
“With 42 days till the opening ceremony (July 26), we are able to say it with nice confidence: Paris 2024 is prepared,” mentioned the IOC chief, coming back from a go to to the French capital.
Bach highlighted “the keenness that’s perceived all through town” and that “begins on the airports”, between flags asserting the Video games, “spectacular” competitors venues and Olympic rings hanging from the Eiffel Tower for days.
Though the decision for early legislative elections, on June 30 and July 7, has plunged the host nation into uncertainty, Bach as soon as once more relativized the impression of the scrutiny on the nice quadrennial sporting occasion.
“No, we’re not anxious, and for good motive: on Monday I noticed with my very own eyes (…) a complete unity. Each the federal government and the opposition expressed their need, and even their willpower, to see France seem in fullness throughout the Olympic Video games,” mentioned the IOC president.
