The Paris 2024 Olympics, which commenced on July 26 and will end on August 11, have been a mix of dramatic highlights and controversies. The opening ceremony faced criticism for allegedly offending Christian religious sentiments, and there were concerns about water quality when some athletes fell ill after swimming in the River Seine. Despite these issues, the Games have also featured memorable moments, such as Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec’s charismatic performance and a touching marriage proposal from Chinese badminton player Zheng Si Wei to his mixed doubles partner Huang Ya Qiong following their gold medal win.
