It’s a debt ridden and a corrupt money sucking event which has now become a target.

I feel for the athletes but it’s clear that the event needs a different moral direction.

Reports in the media that the attacks were made by Putin for Russia being banned from the Olympics.

Imagine that the Russians were behind these attacks on French infrastructure then what could the ‘real reason’ for the disruption caused be?

The rabbit hole goes deeper …

The Russians will do anything they can to disrupt and cause terror upon the party they weren't invited to. They are furious they cannot showcase their doped-up athletes on the world stage any more.

Their plans will fail.

The idea to have the national teams go down the Seine by barge is brilliant and beautiful. Best wishes for a wonderful Olympics!

It is unfortunate that Putin is so crazy that he thinks doping up the Russian athletes is acceptable.

Only Japanese athletes on high alert? Strange take by Kyodo.

I don’t like the Olympics.

We are still paying for that farce of an event in Tokyo three years ago.
