Officials for the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games have issued an apology following the backlash to Friday’s Opening Ceremony.
With viewers watching from around the world, the Opening Ceremony for any Olympic Games is often one of the most anticipated television events of the year.
But despite ferrying 6,800 athletes down the River Seine and bring out music legend Celine Dion, the reception was far from what the organisers were hoping for.
Many viewers watching on Friday didn’t just feel let down, but outright offended by what they saw.
Some claimed the imagery featured during the Opening Ceremony was “satanic”, with Donald Trump Jr. being one of the most high-profile critics of the show.
