Corrections: 1. In the intro I meant income not revenue. 2. The Rio buildings have been abandoned since 2016 so 8 years, not for over a decade
-
as a french person it is always a pleasure to see how france and particularly the OG are seen from the outside. Everyone is so pessimistic about the games in France, critisizing every decision made. But from an external point of view, it all makes much more sense. Thanks for you work !
-
Everyone complains about the olympics not making money but then every means to profit from it is a greedy cash grab?
-
Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, just swam in the seine.
-
I hope that the river Seine is clean enough for them to use it in the games, however even if it's not clean enough the city will end up with a cleaner river. This would not have happened without the olympics.

As a 2022 Paralympian in alpine skiing and someone who has always loved the Games as a whole I really appreciate videos like this highlighting the logistics and preparation of the games themselves. I believe the Olympics and Paralympics are an extremely important event for all of us to bring the world together, and even though they can have major costs and be an inconvenience to some, I hope these games in Paris are a major success that will help spur the Olympic spirit onward.

The Rio Olympics only happened in 2016, and unless you are writing from the future, the stadiums have not been abandoned for a decade, let alone "well over a decade"...
-
Irony the day you post the video, river was clean enough so that Hidalgo (major of Paris) swimmed on it.
-
Where the hell did you find Tokyo generated nearly six billion in revenue? No way did they come close to that based off losing over $800 million in spectator ticket revenue due to the pandemic. Cite your sources bruh.
-
Thank god Paris is in a developed country, and wont face the same problems as those olympics in developing countries.... You know... Like London and Tokyo... famously underdeveloped
-
At 7:19 I think I see how my coworkers behave on the daily.
-
"minimising its environmental impact" one line later... "and hosting events as far as French Polynesia" So you're telling me NO ONE sees the very obvious contradiction here?
-
It's a French company, Atos that takes care of the informatics systems of the Olympics games. And this treat was always there. In Rio there were massive attacks, that nearly. Took the system down, but it was kept secret
-
Revenue can't be negative... and you say that the Rio buildings have been abandoned for over a decade, even though the Rio Olympics were eight years ago? This is not even a minute and a half in, cmon
-
Madrid already proposed to use existing stadiums and submitted a more climate-friendly bid when climate-friendly wasn't still a thing and cities were fighting to build the largest / newest / most expensive stadium. The bid was famously and controversially rejected.
-
She did have the swim. It happened yesterday, I think.
-
Great video ! Thanks for your work !

No sources are mentioned along the video.

Oh, by the way, Line 11 doesn't go to Saint-Denis Pleyel, it's also line 14. It goes to Rosny Sous Bois, in the east of Paris :)
